Tina Morse, from Roseville, Minn., traded the unpredictable weather of the midwest for the southern California sunshine, arriving at SDSU in the spring of 2002.
After a successful playing career at North Dakota from 1999-2001, Morse embarked on her coaching career with a brief six-month stint at UND, while completing her student teaching and earning her bachelor[apos]s of science degree in physical education. She was an Arthur Ashe Sport Scholar from 1999-2001 and served as team captain in 2001.
At SDSU, Morse is completing her master[apos]s degree in biomechanics. Making the coaching jump to NCAA Division I soccer from UND, a Division II team, meant enough to her that she volunteered her time in 2002, bringing her valuable coaching ability to SDSU.
Appreciated for those efforts, Morse begins her first year as a paid assistant coach. Morse brings club coaching experience from Grand Forks, N.D., where she coached for the Grand Forks Soccer Club, coaching competive level soccer teams in 2001 and 2002.
Morse assists in a variety of capacities for the Aztec women[apos]s soccer program. She is instrumental in planning and implimenting training sessions applying her knowledge in biomechanics. She participates in everything from recruiting to administrative tasks to team coaching.
