Versus Whittier, he had a stat line of 25 points, 10 rebounds, four assists and four steals. 

Morgan (Lompoc, Calif.) helped drive Cal Lutheran to a 1-1 week in SCIAC play that featured a 63-55 win over Whittier, and a narrow, 71-67 loss to La Verne. Morgan averaged 24.0 points per game during the week shooting at a 66.7% clip from the field, including a 4-for-5 effort from three-point range, and a 66.7% mark from the free-throw line. She also pulled down 12 rebounds, dished out two assists and notched four steals during the week.
