Morgan's Message is an organization that strives to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health within the student-athlete community and equalize the treatment of physical and mental health in athletics. They aim to expand the dialogue on mental health by normalizing conversations, empowering those who suffer in silence, and supporting those who feel alone. This Friday, we take a beat to remember the importance of mental health. Morgan's Message reminds us that taking care of our minds is just as important as taking care of our body.
SENIOR NIGHT
On Sunday we will honor our four seniors, Martina Giacchino, Mia Garber, Eva Kluskens and Carine Van Wiechen, who have been instrumental to the program's success on the Heights. Together, they helped guide the Eagles to their 13th NCAA Tournament appearance in 2024 and have been at the heart of more than 35 victories over their four years. Their impact includes some of the program's most memorable moments from upsetting Duke to advance to the ACC Championship last season to securing a top-10 win over Maryland to open the 2025 campaign.
