Julie Morse came to the Hilltop prior to the 2022 campaign for the Hoyas.
In her time at GU, she has coached one IWLCA All-American, 10 First Team All-BIG EAST honorees and 12 Second Team All-BIG EAST selections. Last season, she helped the Hoyas to a 9-8 overall record as well as a 4-2 mark in conference play. Georgetown qualified for the BIG EAST Championship, and boasted the BIG EAST Freshman of the year as well as four All-BIG EAST honorees (3 First Team, 1 Second Team). The staff put together an impressive squad in year one, resulting in being named the BIG EAST Coaching Staff of the Year.
Morse came to Georgetown from Campbell where she was the defensive coach for two seasons. At Campbell, the Camels went 8-7 with an impressive mark of 5-1 in the Big South Conference. The team boasted a four-game win streak to close out the regular season. The Camels had a record seven players on the All-Big South team including a pair of defenders. In a shortened 2020 season, Morse’s first in Buies Creek, the Camels went 2-7 before the season was called due to COVID-19.
Prior to Campbell, Morse spent three seasons as an assistant coach at Washington College where she helped the Shorewomen to top 25 IWLCA poll rankings in each of her final two seasons, including No. 24 in the final poll of 2019, going 12-6 overall and 7-2 in Centennial Conference play. Five Shorewomen were named All-Centennial Conference in 2019, while two claimed all-region nods.
Prior to Washington, Morse played at Loyola, helping the Greyhounds to three conference titles, reaching the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division I Tournament two times and advancing to the second round twice in her career. Loyola won the BIG EAST championship in 2012 and consecutive Patriot League championships in 2014 and 2015. As a senior, she helped the team rank No. 10 nationally in the final IWLCA Division I poll, and was a part of the 15th-best scoring defense in the nation.
An Easton, Maryland native, Morse graduated from Loyola in 2015 with a Bachelor of Arts in speech-language pathology, and has also coached at the prep and club ranks, with stops at Saint Peter and Paul High School, Bay Area Lacrosse Club and Maximum Exposure Lacrosse Camp. She was also a coach and leadership counselor at the Julie Foudy Sports Leadership Academy.
Morse completed a master’s in sports leadership from VCU in 2022.
