A true competitor who her coach says has established herself as one of the top goalies in the New England prep school circuit will be taking to the ice against Canada this weekend.

Morgan Fisher ’16 was chosen as one of 23 players on the U-18 National Team after distinguishing herself at the 2015 USA Hockey Women’s National Festival, according to the USA Hockey website.

Ms. Fisher, a goaltender, will represent the United States in a series against Canada from August 19-23 in Lake Placid, New York.

“I am extremely proud of this accomplishment to earn a spot and compete at this level,” her coach, Christa Talbot, noted in an email after hearing the news. “She is a fierce competitor and has become much more confident in the net over the last year.”

Ms. Fisher earned eight shutouts and allowed 18 goals in 25 games at Williston Northampton last season. She attended the inaugural US Women’s Team Goaltending Development Camp in Blaine, MN.

Coach Talbot said she was proud of “the person and player that Morgan has become over the past year,” and noted that Ms. Fisher’s focus on off-ice training had made her an even better goaltender.

“She took everything that she learned and all the feedback that she received and has implemented it into her game,” Ms. Talbot said. “She’s not taking anything for granted.”
