Under Morris Davis' guidance, St. Mary's has recorded six consecutive winning seasons, including four 20-win campaigns.  Davis brings 142 career victories into 2011 as he enters his eighth season as the head coach of the Seahawk volleyball program.  He notched his 100th career win with a 3-0 triumph of Rutgers University-Newark on November 1, 2008. 

Looking at Davis' track record, there is no doubt that a winning tradition has been infused into the Seahawk volleyball program.

He has coached two All-Americans and four all-region selections.  Davis has also mentored four Seahawks to 12 All-Capital Athletic Conference selections, including four first team awards.  The school's first-ever AVCA Mid-Atlantic Region Freshman of the Year, Claire Kodan '11, and two CAC Rookies of the Year have passed through the program during Davis' watch.

The Seahawks picked up their fourth 20-win season under Davis while Claire Kodan '11 and Gena Hlavinka '12 earned all-conference honors.

In 2009, St. Mary's failed to advance past the CAC first round for the first time since 2005 en route to an 18-14 overall record and one conference all-star.

Davis coached the program's second All-America (Katie Ewing '10) as well as two AVCA All-Mid-Atlantic Region picks and three All-CAC selections in 2008 while the Seahawks made a return trip to the CAC championship match.  St. Mary's 7-1 conference mark is the most league wins in program history.

The 2007 CAC Coach of the Year, he mentored the program's first-ever All-American (Claire Kodan '11) while guiding St. Mary's to its first-ever appearance in the CAC title match.  Davis also guided the Seahawks to a school record for most wins in a season with 30.

For the second year in a row, he coached the CAC Rookie of the Year (Katie Ewing '08) in 2006.  Davis concluded the 2005 season leading the Seahawks to their first 20-win season since 1999 and their first winning season since 2002 while Becca Tursell '09 was voted as the CAC Rookie of the Year, becoming the first-ever Seahawk to win such an honor.

His mindset of winning comes from being involved with volleyball for over 25 years both as a player and coach, including 15 years as the head coach for the All-Navy and US Armed Forces women's volleyball teams, while having also coached at the club level.

During the 1999 and 2000 seasons, Davis served as the head varsity coach at McDonough HS in Pomfret, Md., where he led the school to a two-year record of 39-3 and a No. 2 ranking.  The team finished as the regional runner-up twice during his tenure.

Davis does have one year of collegiate coaching experience to his credit prior to St. Mary's, helping to lead Norfolk State University to a second place conference tournament finish with a 10-9 mark during the 1987 season.

Born on the island of St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, Davis is a 20-year veteran of the US Navy.  He earned a B.S. in technical operations management from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University in 2001.
