Aaliyah Morin (Uh-lee-yuh More-in)
      Aaliyah Morin, from Grand Haven, Michigan, is pursuing a degree in Psychology and brings four years of rugby experience to the Saints. She’s competed for both Grand Haven and Rockford (now Rouge) rugby programs, showing steady growth and love for the game. “What made me choose Aquinas was the small and close environment,” she said. “It feels like a community.” Morin’s goals center on consistency and effort — giving her all in class and on the field every day. Fun fact: Aaliyah has a unique cognitive trait — she can’t visualize images or see pictures in her head, which she says helps her stay fully focused on the present moment.
