As a freshman, Morgan started in 59 games, working her way into the leadoff spot in the first half of the season, hitting .340 with 48 runs, 14 RBIs and 25 stolen bases. The outfielder saw less of the field in her sophomore campaign, starting in 10 of 33 appearances, while batting .257 with five RBIs, two doubles, 10 runs scored and four stolen bases.
One of those starts came in her hometown of Columbia as Tennessee took down Austin Peay in the annual Midstate Classic.
Prior to her time at Tennessee, Morgan set numerous records as a TSSAA softball star at Columbia Central in southern Middle Tennessee. She holds the TSSAA record for stolen bases in a season, with 75, while owning program records for career stolen bases (175), single-season batting average (.735), single-season runs (66) and career runs (148).
