The 5-foot-10 senior right-handed pitcher had led the Spartans to a 22-0 record and the Class 6A Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League championship game at the time of her selection. Ryan owned a 17-0 record and a 0.87 ERA in the circle along with a .446 average, four home runs and 30 RBI through 22 games. She struck out 159 batters with just 21 walks in 105 innings pitched. Ryan is a First Team All-State honoree and was named Class 4A Player of the Year as a junior.
Ryan has maintained an A average in the classroom. She has signed a National Letter of Intent to play softball on scholarship at the University of Notre Dame this fall.
A peer tutor in her school, Ryan has volunteered locally on behalf of the Special Olympics and the U.S. Marine Corps Toys for Tots program. "In my mind, Morgan Ryan is the best athlete in Pennsylvania right now," said Gary Serock, head coach at Albert Gallatin High. "She has been amazing on the mound this year, one of the strongest and winningest pitchers in the game."
