GoHeels.com: What is the best memory of your softball career so far?
Megan Morrison: My senior year we had the opportunity to play in my home state. Being in Arizona was so much fun, and it was nice to be at a place that I grew up around. I had a great weekend with two home runs and loved every minute of it. My family was able to come up and watch me play, which was something that I will never forget. The memories on and off the field are ones that I will cherish for a long time.
GH: How did you get started playing softball?
MM: I started when I was eight years old and havent stopped since. Either it was soccer or softball where I lived, and knowing me, I'm not very good with my feet, so I went with softball. All of my friends at the time were doing it, and I seemed to really enjoy it.
GH: Why Carolina?
MM: Having the best academic and athletic programs as well as being a part of the Carolina family is something that I have always wanted to be a part of.
