Fresh off one of the finest individual seasons in program history, Morgan Biddle enters her first year on staff at the University of Pittsburgh at Greensburg. A two-time All-AMCC Performer, including a 1st Team All-AMCC selection as a senior, Biddle propelled the Bobcats to the 2014-15 AMCC Championship game. She put the squad on her back during UPG’s thrilling playoff run, averaging 22.3 ppg, 9 rpg, and 1.7 bpg, while shooting 61% from the field and 88% from the FT line. In the epic AMCC Semifinal win over rival Pitt-Bradford, Biddle became the 10th player in program history to score 1,000 points when she pumped in a game-high 26 points, pushing the Bobcats into the title game. She came up clutch in one of the biggest moments of her career, making the game-winning steal with 14 seconds left to play that eventually led to her game-winning FTs with 1.1 seconds left in regulation.
Selected by her teammates as Pitt-Greensburg Women’s Basketball “MVP” and by her peers as SAAC “Winter Female Athlete of the Year”, Biddle scored the 5th most points (439) in single-season history in 2014-15. She scored in double figures 24 times, including nine games with 20 or more points. Biddle led the AMCC in FG%, shooting a Bobcat single-season record 55.9% from the floor and blocked an AMCC best 63 shots. She also ranked in the Top 10 in the AMCC in both scoring (15.7 ppg – 6th) and rebounding (8.2 rpg – 7th). A team captain who showcased tremendous leadership and competitive drive, Biddle became the 1st-ever recipient of the Casey Stanton ’12 Leadership Award.
Biddle played in 102 career games, including 54 starts, and accumulated career totals of 1,023 points, 635 rebounds, 135 blocks, and 115 steals. She is the Bobcats’ career leader in field goal percentage (48.2%). In all, she finished her career ranked in the Top 10 All-Time in 15 different statistical categories – most notably 2nd in blocked shots, 3rd in offensive rebounds (250), 4th in total rebounds, 4th in FT percentage (75.3%), and 9th in scoring.
A native of Flinton, Pennsylvania, Biddle was a four year starter at Glendale High School, earning Mo Valley League MVP honors during her senior season. She scored over 1,000 career points and led Glendale to the Mo Valley League Championship during the 2010-11 season. Biddle will graduate from Pitt-Greensburg in December 2015 with a degree in Biological Science with minors in both Chemistry and Psychology.
