Morey, the women's soccer coach since 1998 received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Education from Bethel College where he played varsity soccer, tennis and golf. Morey also went on to receive his master's degree in Business from Bethel. 

Morey has been recognized by his peers as past NCCAA Region Coach of the Year as well as MCC Coach of the Year in 2006.

"After much prayer and discussion with my wife, I have decided that it is in the best interest of my family that I step down from my position as coach," said Morey. "When I say my family, I am including my players, both past and current, because that is what they have become over the past 13 years. The relationships that I have established with both athletes and my colleagues here at Bethel are ones that I will treasure for the rest of my life."

Lantz added, "Coach Morey has given so much of himself to Bethel College athletics over the past 13 years. He has had a tremendous influence on the lives of numerous young women who have been a part of the soccer program. I want to thank him for his tremendous contribution and wish him the very best in the days and years to come."

Lantz announced that a search for Morey's replacement will begin immediately.
