Shelly Morris is in her second season as the head coach of the Stonehill field hockey program. She enters the season with a career record of 80-69 (.537 winning percentage).

In her first season with the Skyhawks, Morris guided Stonehill to a third-place finish in the Northeast-10 and a trip to the Northeast-10 Tournament semifinals. The Skyhawks went 13-8 overall and had three student-athletes earn all-conference honors - two of them went on to earn All-America accolades.

A former standout at Northeastern University, she brings a wealth of experience to the position, having served as the head coach of Ohio University for six seasons, where she led the Bobcats to the Mid-American Conference title and the program's first-ever NCAA Tournament in 2001.

During her time in Athens, Morris compiled a 67-61 overall record, while guiding Ohio to four appearances in the MAC Tournament Championship game. In the 2001 season, she won both the regular season and tournament titles, and posted the second most wins in a single season in program history (16). For her efforts she was named West Region Coach of the Year by the National Field Hockey Coaches Association. The accolades rolled in for her players as well, as three were named All-MAC first-team honorees, three others earned All-MAC second-team awards and another, Ali Johnstone, was named the MAC Player of the Year.

During her first season as head coach, she led upset wins over perennial conference powerhouses Kent State and Ball State. The 3-2 win over the Cardinals on October 15th ended Ball State's 64-game MAC winning streak.

In her second season, Morris guided Ohio to the MAC Championship Game for the first time since 1987, compiling a 10-10 overall record and finishing second in the Conference. It was the Bobcats' highest finish in conference play since 1993 and marked the first time in school history Ohio had back-to-back winning conference records.

Prior to being named head coach of the Bobcats, she spent two years (1997-99) as an assistant with the program and another as an assistant at her alma mater (1994-95).

A 1994 cum laude graduate of Northeastern with a degree in recreation and sports management, Morris served as captain of the 1992 squad and was named a Northeast Region All-America. She still ranks fifth on the school's all-time assists list (37).
