Purcellville (Dec. 6, 2012) - Woodgrove High School held a signing reception on Wednesday, Dec. 5 to recognize two of the program's finest in girls lacrosse, Olivia Becker (Liberty) and Morgan Miller (Delaware), who will play in college next year. This was Woodgrove’s first official signing of girls’ lacrosse players to NCAA Division I teams.
Becker signed in November to continue her lacrosse career for Liberty University in Lynchburg. The Flames are members of the Big South conference. She has been a 2-year starter on attack for the varsity Wolverine laxers.
In 2012 she was voted onto the 2nd team All Dulles District team. While at Woodgrove she has produced 38 goals and 17 assists. She is a team player that always encourages her teammates.
Becker has played club lacrosse for Frederick Stars in Maryland as well as Upper Corner Lacrosse and NoVA West in Western Loudoun. This past summer she was selected to play for the FCA Lacrosse National Team in Lake Placid, NY. Becker is a member of the National Honor Society and maintains a 3.7 GPA. She will join her sister, Morgan, a 2010 graduate of Loudoun Valley, on the attack line for Liberty.
Miller signed in November to continue her lacrosse career for the University of Delaware in Newark, Delaware. The Blue Hens are members of the Colonial Athletic Association.
She began her lacrosse career in 4th grade playing for Western Loudoun Lacrosse. She played six years for Upper Corner and NoVa West club team. Here at Woodgrove she has been a 2-year starting midfielder with 2012 2nd Team All Dulles District honors.
Miller holds the school record for single game and career ground balls. She has contributed 69 goals and 16 assists to the Wolverine laxers. She has been very active in school life, holding offices in Student Council Association, German Club, Varsity Club and was a member of the Yearbook staff.
Her love for lacrosse is shared by coaching young girls whenever she has the opportunity. Miller will be hard matched in speed at Delaware as she holds the tryout record in the 40, 100, 200, and 400 for Woodgrove's lacrosse program.
Woodgrove AD Rusty Lowery: "Woodgrove thanks both of these girls for two great seasons and we are looking for another one this spring."
Wolverine head coach Bob Fuller told those gathered: "No doubt you were both impact players who helped in our success these last two years. I hope you are proud of your accomplishments and contributions as 2-time undefeated district champions, 2-time district tournament champions, regionals runner ups, sectional champions and 2-time quarter finalists in the state tournament."
