Volleyball player Morgan Hasty of Johnson C. Smith University in Charlotte, North Carolina has been named a Top 30 semi-finalist for the NCAA Woman of the Year award.
Hasty played volleyball for the Golden Bulls in both the 2014 and 2015 NCAA seasons. She was listed as a “utility” player and in 77 sets played, she recorded 6 kills, 13 assists, 100 digs, 8 aces, and a block.
After her junior season in 2015, Hasty turned her focus to softball, where she played 3 seasons for the team. In 2017, she started 27 games at 3rd base for the team, hitting .426 with 4 home runs and 22 RBI. In that senior season, her most productive for the softball team, she led the team in batting average, runs scored, hits, doubles, home runs, walks, and on base percentage.
Hasty graduated from Johnson C. Smith with a 3.95 GPA in sports management.
The Top 30 is made up of 10 athletes from each of the NCAA’s 3 divisions. The top 9 will be announced on September 26th, and that group will be honored at a ceremony later this year in Indianapolis.
Established in 1991 and now in its 27th year, the NCAA Woman of the Year award honors graduating female college athletes who have exhausted their eligibility and distinguished themselves in academics, athletics, service and leadership throughout their collegiate careers.
