Student-Athlete Spotlight: Amy Begg, Softball

No. 14 Amy Begg, Freshman Pitcher
Christchurch, New Zealand
Major: Psychology
 
Amy Begg is a pitcher for the Lady Bears softball team. As a native of Christchurch, New Zealand, Begg chose to continue her softball career at Morgan State because they do not have college softball in New Zealand and it was simply just an opportunity of a lifetime; one that could not be turned down.
 
The Lady Bears will head to Florida this weekend to face Stetson (Feb. 20-21), followed by a matchup with the University of Virginia and George Washington at the Citrus Invitational in Lake Buena Vista, Fla. (Feb. 22). The first home contest will be on Saturday, March 21, 2015 when Morgan State plays host to Hampton in a doubleheader at Lois T. Murray Field.
