LA GRANDE – (Release from Eastern Oregon University) Head Coach Kaki McLean Morehead, at the helm of the Eastern Oregon volleyball program, was named Coach of the Year for the second consecutive year this Thursday.
Under Morehead’s guidance, the Mounties have clinched their second consecutive CCC regular-season championship, securing an automatic bid to the NAIA Tournament this season. EOU currently leads the CCC with an impressive .070 opponent hitting percentage and an average of 2.68 blocks per set.
