Bio

Stacey Morris graduated from SUNY Orange in 1989 following stellar careers in softball, basketball, and soccer. She was named to the All-Region Team for each sport in both of her years at the College.

Morris was named the Mid-Hudson Conference Most Valuable Player in basketball at the conclusion of the 1987-88 season, and was SUNY Orange's female Athlete of the Year in 1989. A 1,000 point scorer on the hardwood, Morris led the Colts to the National Tournament in 1988-89 and was honored as a third-team NJCAA All-American.

Following her career at SUNY Orange, Morris carved a standout career at Wagner College, earning a full athletic scholarship to play basketball and softball.

She is considered one of the great dual-sport athletes in Wagner history. As a senior, Morris was one of the predominant softball players in the entire nation, leading the country in slugging percentage (.954) while ranking second nationally in batting with a robust .556 average (which remains the fifth-highest single-season batting average in Division I history). She was also third nationally in home runs (10) and RBI (43). A catcher, Morris was behind the plate for all 71 games during the 1990 and 1991 campaigns.

As a senior on the hardwood, she was a First-Team All-Northeast Conference (NEC) performer while leading the team in scoring at 15.4 points per game. She was also a member of the 1990-91 All-NEC Tournament team.

Her penchant for on-field excellence continued when she returned to SUNY Orange to serve as head softball coach. In 17 years (1993-2010), she amassed more than 300 career victories and guided the Colts to 12 regional and conference championships. In 1994, Stacey led the Colts to the NJCAA National Tournament, where the team placed third.

Morris was inducted into the Wagner College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2009 and into the SUNY Orange Hall of Fame in 2015 and is currently the Assistant Athletic Director of SUNY Orange.
