Two-Time CIS National Champion Morgan McLaughlin

In this episode, we had the privelege of sitting down with two-time CIS National Champion, Morgan McLaughlin. In this interview Morgan, an Ontario native, shares her experience of moving across the country while learning to balance both basketball and academics.   Morgan was recruited to SFU by former Head Coach, Allison McNeill for whom she played two seasons—one in the NAIA and one in the CIS.  In Morgan's third year at SFU, Bruce Langford was hired as Head Coach, and led the squad to an undefeated 35-0 season, capped off with a CIS National Championship (2002). Following two 4th place finishes in 2003 and 2004, Morgan closed out a fantastic career at SFU with another undefeated season (38-0) and CIS National Championship over the Winnipeg Wesmen in 2005.   After taking a brief hiatus from the game, Morgan laced up her shoes once more and took her talents overseas to play professionally in Germany for one season. After that, Morgan went on to live in Scotland for a year, playing in both the national league and the University of Glasgow's varsity team.  Morgan now works as a teacher, Head of the Athletic Department, and Sr. Girls basketball coach at Collingwood School in West Vancouver, BC.
