Morris, who joined the Dream on a Training Camp contract in February 2017, was the final cut on the day prior to the regular season.

Highly accomplished, she was honored with First-Team All-Pac-10 honors, Pac-10 All-Tournament and honorable mention Pac-10 All-Defensive honors after leading the Bruins to a 28-5 finish.
