UNCG coach Emily Marron

GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNCG has signed Grimsley High School product Morgan Cranford to a National Letter of Intent to play for the Spartans next season, women's golf coach Emily Marron announced Wednesday.

Cranford is a two-time all-conference performer for Grimsley and was the 2010 Metro Conference Player of the Year. She was the Central Region runner-up, falling in a playoff, and posted a fifth-place finish at the 4A state championship. She is a three-time state tournament participant.

"We are excited about Morgan joining our program," Marron said. "Morgan has had some success at the junior and high school levels, but I truly believe her best golf is definitely ahead of her, and I am looking forward to watching her progress in college. She is an extremely hard worker, and the team will benefit from her strong work ethic."

Cranford is currently ranked 21^st in the state by the Tarheel Youth Golf Association and is ninth in the class of 2011.
