Morgan Alexander, 5th year senior, shares her insights on adversity, appreciation and her future!

Morgan grew up just north of Syracuse University and started playing lacrosse in 2nd grade. Morgan really started to focus on the sport in the 8th grade when those around her said she’d never be any good. Wow did she use that as motivation where practice, wall ball and work ethic all became habits that propelled Morgan into a top D1 prospect. She recognizes the influence and guidance of her dad who was always there to help in a positive way. He was a big reason Morgan has become the person and player she is today. While she always aspired to play for Syracuse, she looked at several schools including Notre Dame but SU’s Sports Broadcasting program, proximity to home and their world class facilities were all sound reasons to commit to SU. When it comes to the recruiting process, Morgan shares 3 key insights. 1) Academics need to be the #1 focus as Student comes before Athlete in Student-Athlete. 2) Make sure the coaching staff matches your style of play. And 3) Consider all the facilities and which option financially suits you best. Morgan has had several significant knee injuries but her mindset has always been extremely positive. “Minor setback for a major comeback!” Even though Morgan had a recent knee injury that prohibits her from playing she is still very much an integral part of the team. She has set her career sights on Broadcasting and we know we will see her on the field doing high profile college football games very soon. #blessed
