After missing 2018 with a torn ACL, Morganne Flores is smashing homers and powering UW to the postseason

The home runs keep coming for Husky softball catcher Morganne Flores, but the UW junior doesn’t take it for granted.

Not after tearing her ACL before last season started, ending her season before it began.

“It taught me that you never know when the game can be taken from you,” said Flores, who redshirted last season. “So you have to be present on every pitch, and take advantage of every pitch, because it’s a gift. It gave me a new perspective on the game and to take in the moment.”

Flores has taken advantage of a lot of pitches after returning this season.
