"At Darton they helped me grow up more and they taught me a lot of things how to be a better teammate, how to be a better player and how to be a better person.I have to thank all the coaches at Darton and I want to thank my host family from Albany that also supported me while I was at Darton too, Greg, Pam and Kelsie Richsters."
Morozova plans to return home to Russia for the summer before coming back to Valdosta to be a grad assistant for the softball team next year. She while begin her Masters degree program in the fall.
