Eagles sign ‘winner’

Head coach of the women’s basketball team, Rick Stein, is excited for the team’s first early recruit.

The team signed guard/forward Morgan Sherwood, a current high school senior at Charleston High School in Charleston, Illinois.

In the first five games of her senior season she averaged 20.8 points and 8.4 rebounds.

She is a three-time All-State, All-Conference and All-Area honoree.

According to a press release Stein said he is excited to have her join because she “is a winner on and off the court.”

She also has prior knowledge of two current USI players, sophomores Kaydie Grooms and Randa Harshbarger who she played on an AAU team with.

“Morgan is an outstanding athlete that excelled in multiple sports in high school,” Stein said. “She has a great understanding of the game and a high basketball IQ.”
