Freshman pitcher Ashleigh Morton finding success while adjusting to the pace of being a collegiate athlete

Freshman pitcher Ashleigh Morton has been using her first season at Georgia Southern to learn and grow as a student athlete on a team of fiercely supportive teammates.

Morton attended Tattnall Square Academy in Macon, Georgia. During her high school career, she was named the 7-A Pitcher of the Year, GHSA Single A State Runner Up, two First Team All-Region titles, and First and Second team All-State honors. She was a three-sport athlete, also competing in tennis and cheerleading.

In her time here at GS, she has pitched in over a dozen games. She pitched a season long five innings against Siena College at the beginning of March, and threw a career high six strikeouts against Mercer University.
