First preseason recognition for the senior

BETHLEHEM, Pa. – For the first time in her career, senior Morgan Willis was selected to the conference's All-League Preseason Team.

"We are so pleased that Morgan's hard work has been rewarded with this well-deserved selection," said head coach Gareth Terrett. "She is an outstanding player and a proven goal scorer who consistently causes problems for defenses across the Patriot League. We look forward to seeing her continue that form this season and add to her already impressive goal tally."

The rising senior had a breakout season for the Raiders last year. A starter in all 17 matches, Willis scored a career best 10 goals, featuring two game-winning goals over Lock Haven and Stonehill. Reaching these statistics placed her as the fourth best goal scorer and most game-winners last season. Willis contributed an assist for a total 21 points in the 2025 year. In addition to her offensive prowess, she fired off 32 shots, placing 27 on target. 

Over her career as a Raider, Willis has appeared in 42 games while logging 33 starts. She has amassed 14 goals, four assists, for a running total of 32 points. She has taken 41 shots, targeting 41 of them to boast a .837 shot on goal percentage.

Under her leadership, the team is slated to embark on its season opener on Friday August, 28 at 6 p.m. hosting New Haven on Tyler's Field.
