<p>Nellie Morris was preparing for her next level of lacrosse, at Princeton University, when she got a surprise announcement to cap her high school career.</p>
<p>Morris was one of two Princeton residents along with Keely Langdon to be named to the High School All-America first team.... Morris was co-captain and the top scorer for the Lawrenceville School girls' team that won eight games and captured the Mid-Atlantic Prep League title.</p>

<p>"In the end, I absolutely love the lacrosse program at Princeton," she added. "I just think (Chris Sailer) is one of the best coaches. All the girls were amazing people. Academically, it has what I'm looking for. I'm hoping to major in international relations and they have a great program. And my family is really close. My grandparents live next door to us. It's fun to stay around the area. When I went on my official visit, I had no idea I was still in Princeton. There's still so much to explore."</p>
<p>Going to Princeton was something Morris thought about years ago, even if she wasn't too serious about it then. She started playing lacrosse a couple years after her family settled in Princeton. It was then that she began attending Princeton University women's lacrosse games. Now, she will be playing for the Tigers.</p>
<p>"It was always a dream to me," Morris said. "When I started getting involved in lacrosse, we'd go to watch games. They had a team that won the national championship. I never thought of going to Princeton, but I remember being excited to play the sport of lacrosse after seeing them win. That got me motivated to work hard and maybe one day play in college."</p>
