Morgan Figueroa verbals to Fordham

Morgan Figueroa
Fordham picked up a big verbal commitment from Morgan Figueroa, a 2014 lefthanded slap hitter from the Washington Ladyhawks.

Figueroa is an outfielders and second baseman who is sure to add some speed to the Rams lineup. Figueroa has great bat control and she should be a fixture at the top of the order. Coach Bridget Orchard will look to develop Figueroa's slapping abilities, as well as hitting away to make her a triple threat at the plate.

Figueroa joins Madi Shaw in Fordham's 2014 recruiting class. Coach Orchard is already putting together a great recruiting class and it will be exciting to see who the next player that verbals is.

Figueroa is not the first lefty slapper from the Washington Ladyhawks to play for Fordham, as Lindsey Kay Bright has that distinction. Bright was a four year starter in the outfield for the Rams and she left her mark on the Fordham record book, as she holds the single season record for steals with 29 and was one of just six players in Ram history to have recorded 200 hits.

There have been some other Ladyhawks that have also gone on to play in the Atlantic 10, including Maura Murphy, Devynne Nelons, Crystal Nyman, Teea Rogers, Erin Fisher, and Melissa Wilson.
