Head Coach Eddy Morgan enters his 2nd year at the University of Wisconsin-Superior with great optimism. Morgan’s 2007-2008 recruiting class, his first, saw twenty-two new players enter the program, which included four Minnesota All-State players and several highly touted Junior College transfers.

Prior to his arrival at the University of Wisconsin-Superior, the Hermantown, MN native spent nine seasons as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator at The College of St. Scholastica. The 33 year-old head coach has high expectations for the program which plays in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, one of the top NCAA DIII baseball leagues in the country. “I expect we will compete at a high level and we are taking huge steps to turning this program into one of the elite in the upper Midwest,” Morgan said. “We will be successful because we recruit student-athletes who want excellence in the classroom and on the field,” Morgan said. “The university and alumni our behind the program and I look forward to the challenge ahead of us.”

Morgan inherited a program that went 3-35 overall and 0-24 in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in the 2005-2006 season. In his first year he helped bring the Yellowjackets to a 9-30 record. The Yellowjackets were 8-7 in the non-conference schedule which included big wins over Western Connecticut State, Waldorf College, and Concordia University.

Morgan’s assistant duties at The College of St. Scholastica included his work as the team’s recruiting coordinator, during a period in which the Saints were often ranked near the top of the nation in NCAA Division III baseball. While at St. Scholastica, Morgan became known as one of the top young assistant coaches in the country. Morgan also was head coach for the Duluth Lakeview American Legion team for 8 years, in which his teams reached state tournament competition four times and developed the program into one of the elite American Legion programs in Minnesota.

As a student athlete, Morgan had a solid playing career as a middle infielder at St. Scholastica, while earning a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Arts/Sciences. He is currently completing his thesis for his Masters Degree in Management.

Morgan is described by his players as, “prepared, enthusiastic, and a competitor. He coaches both pitchers and middle infielders and all other aspects of the program. Athletic Director Steve Nelson said, “He [Morgan] brings a wealth of coaching experience to our baseball program, and will build the necessary foundation to compete and win in the always tough WIAC.”
