Louisa Morton: September's Zueike Female Athlete of the Month
Congratulations to Louisa Morton of Blazers Women's Soccer on being selected the CMU Zueike Female Athlete of the Month for September. The rookie defender has demonstrated a maturity and consistency to her game not normally seen in first year student-athletes.
Morton's play in the first half of the season thus far has been instrumental in putting the Blazers in the playoff picture, with her ability to shut down the opposition's top talents, and helping transition the counter-attack by setting up her strikers downfield. Originally signed for the 2022/23 season, Morton ended up deferring her start for a year and rejoined the team this summer ready to get back into competitive collegiate soccer. She has started all six of the Blazers' games so far this season, and has used her talent and athleticism to control the middle of the pitch.
