Athlete Bio

I am entering my 4th year on the Siena College's women's golf team where I will be a captain. I have made the MAAC Academic Honor Roll in 2022, 2023, and 2024. In high school I was the first girl to play on my high school's golf team. My family and I also founded the first ever all girls team golf league called the Girls Independent Golf League (GIGL) which was featured on Golf Channel and NBC.

Personal Statement

Hi! My name is Morgan Smith, and I’m from Westford, MA. I grew up in a family of golfers, which made it easy for me to fall in love with the game—what started as something we did together quickly grew into a true passion of mine. As the oldest of three girls, I was the first in my family to go through the recruiting process. While it was an exciting experience, it was also overwhelming at times because everything was so new for us. I often wished I had someone who had already been through it to help break it all down and make it easier to understand. My hope now is to be that person for someone else—offering guidance, clarity, and support throughout the process—just like I’ve always tried to do for my younger sisters.
