Maura Murphy verbals to George Washington

Maura Murphy

Coach Stacey Schramm has continued her excellent work on the recruiting trail by picking up another 2012 verbal: Maura Murphy 2B/SS of the Washington Ladyhawks-Miller.

The Washington Ladyhawks are the top travel program in the Pacific Northwest and it is a travel program that has been very good to the A10 in the past, sending Lindsay Kay Bright  and Erin Fisher to Fordham, Teea Rogers to UMass, Devynne Nelons and Crystal Nyman to Temple, Carlyn Harlow to Dayton, and Melissa Wilson to Rhode Island. Hopefully many more Ladyhawks will follow Murphy to the A10.

Back to Murphy: she plays HS ball for Mount Si HS in Washington, where she starts at shortstop. Mount Si had a very good season in 2011, led in large part by Murphy's contributions and leadership on the field. George Washington is picking up a proven winner, who is going to help shape the new era of Colonial softball.

Murphy has gone up against the best of the best and performed. In the summer of 2010, she participated in the 16U Premier Nationals with the Ladyhawks and she hit a scorching .353 while driving in 3 runs in the Ladyhawks 7 games. She will once again face the best of the best at Premier Nationals this time in the 18U division.

George Washington is putting together an outstanding recruiting class of 2012 graduates and they are definitely going to have an impact on the future of the A10.
