Karen Morton is a graduating senior from Adelaide, Australia. Karen is majoring in Business. Last week she broke the record for most points in DU women’s lacrosse.

Zac D’Argonne: What does it mean to you now that you hold the DU lacrosse record for most points in a career?

Karen Morton: I honestly had no idea about the record. I did not even know that I was close to breaking it. I was, to say the least, surprised. But of course, it is very exciting to be a part of something like that.

ZD: How did you find out that you were close to breaking the record?

KM: A couple of games before the game in which I broke the record I stumbled upon it on the Denver Pioneers website. I was kind of confused at first to have read that ‘Karen Morton is only two points away from breaking the all time DU scoring record for women’s lacrosse’. Again, it was unexpected.

ZD: What was your reaction once you had time to process the information?

KM: I was surprised. I have never really been the kind of person that contemplates or pays attentions goals or points. I always try and do my best in order make myself better each and every game. Every time I step out onto the field I do not know how many goals I had scored that past game. To say the least, it was a great surprise. I am honored to be considered one of the best in DU history.

ZD: What do you want your teammates to remember about you once you have departed DU?

KM: I want my teammates to remember my work ethic. I want them to remember me for being hard working and giving a 100 percent in all aspects of my life, especially my games and practices.

ZD: What is one thing your team is going to miss about you?

KM: Probably my accent, just kidding. Most likely being a good teammate, helping them out with lacrosse and other things going on with them.

ZD: What is your most memorable lacrosse moment since playing for DU?

KM: Having my team come to Australia in order to play in front of my friends and family at home.

ZD: What made you come all the way to DU from Australia for college?

KM: The DU coach, Jen Adams, from Australia recruited me to come play at Denver. I am grateful for the opportunities that have been given to me.
