What is your favorite part about being a Husky?
Getting the privilege to be surrounded by the best teammates and coaching staff there is, and also getting to wear the Purple and Gold.
What is the best part about playing for Coach Tarr?
Coach Tarr loves to compete and she also cares, not only about you as a player, but as a person. She is extremely relatable and understands what it's like to be a student-athlete.
Why did you choose the number you wear?
I chose #47 because Howie Kendrick wears that number and he has always been my favorite baseball player.
What is your most embarrassing softball moment?
In eight and under, I got so mad that I missed a ball at third base that I just started crying and put my glove over my face and had to get taken off the field.
What is one random fact that people wouldn't know about you?
I have two older half brothers that mean everything to me!

Morganne in her own words:
I am a very hard worker and humble. I come off as very quiet at first but once you get to know me, I love to talk. I have a cat that is my best friend named Missy. I also have two dogs named Bella and Mikey. My sister, Maddison, is my best friend. She is 17 years old and plays softball as well. I have two older half brothers, I look up to them everyday and hope I can be as successful as them one day. Grey's Anatomy is my favorite show on Netlfix and what I like to do on my free time. I also love runs on the beach and walking around downtown Seattle. My parents are my biggest supporters and I would definitely not be here without them. Italian food is my biggest weakness and could eat it everyday. I love a good laugh with my friends and spending time with my family always makes me the happiest. Being a Husky is rewarding in every way and I am already learning so much after only being here for a short time.
