Coach Vogel's Scouting Report
"Meg is a force to be reckoned with up front. Her athleticism, matched with her size makes her an ideal target forward. She can strike a ball from 30 yards out and appears to score at will. We are thrilled to have Meg join our current forwards as she adds a different element. Our front will be working on all cylinders this fall."

Murphy on George Washington
"I chose GW because I loved the environment. The coaches, the members of the soccer team, the academics, and the location all drew me to this school. It seems to be the perfect fit. I believe I can make GW Women's Soccer better due to my size, athleticism and strong technical skills. I am so excited that my signing day has finally come because I am definitely ready for a new chapter in my life and am up to the challenge of playing Division I soccer while going to a prestigious school."
