RIVERDALE, N.Y. ? Ondya Morgan (New Brunswick, N.J./Linden) has signed a National Letter of Intent to join the Manhattan College women's basketball program for the 2009-10 season, Head Coach John Olenowski announced today.
A 5-foot-6 guard, Morgan scored 1,125 career points at Linden High School and was named Second Team All-Union County after both her junior and senior seasons. ESPN Rise magazine selected her as a “top player,” and she also earned a fourth team all-area selection. As a senior, Morgan was chosen to the Watchung Conference Top 10 and the All-Union County Top 5. In addition, she was the Watchung Conference Female Scholar-Athlete in 2008-09.
“Ondya is an outstanding student-athlete who adds quickness and great defensive ability to our program,” Olenowsi said. “She is also a very versatile offensive player who can play the one or the two equally well. We are thrilled to have signed such an outstanding young lady.”
