Since taking over as the University of Evansville's head volleyball coach in 2019, Fernando Morales has transformed the program into a contender in one of the toughest leagues in the nation. In his first season, the program advanced to the MVC Championship for the first time in over a decade while setting multiple records across the board while his Purple Aces squad opened the fall of 2021 with seven consecutive victories for its best start since 1981.
His work in the sport of volleyball is not limited to just the college game. Prior to his transition to the coaching ranks, Morales was a professional and national team player in Puerto Rico.
