LONG BEACH, Calif. – Long Beach State Head Coach Tyler Hildebrand announced the hiring of Natalie Morgan as assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the Beach on Monday. Morgan brings several years of experience having coached at both the collegiate and high school levels.
"We are very excited to bring Natalie into our program," said Hildebrand, "Natalie brings a wealth of volleyball and coaching experience with her. She won a National Championship at Nebraska, was an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for four years at LMU, and has been a head coach at Harvard Westlake. Her experiences and her incredibly high drive will make her a force for us in recruiting both here, locally in California, and across the country.
"Most importantly, our job is to provide great mentors and role models for the women that play for our program. Natalie will be a great teacher, mentor, friend to our players and will represent our university with great pride. I cannot wait to learn from Natalie and have our women learn from and grow with her. I know our team, our university, and our community will be fired up to see what Natalie produces here at Long Beach State."
Morgan comes to the Beach after most recently serving as the head coach at Harvard-Westlake.

"I am thrilled to be a part of the Long Beach State Volleyball Program," said Morgan. "I cannot wait to start establishing relationships with the team, recruits, and the Beach community. It is an honor and a privilege to work alongside Tyler and build upon the legacy of this historical program."
Prior to her time at Harvard-Westlake, Morgan worked at Loyola Marymount as an assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for four years. At LMU, Morgan helped the Lions win their first NCAA Tournament match since 2015. She also brought in back-to-back Top 30 recruiting classes.
