She will be a great influence on the young ladies in our program and assist them as they strive to achieve their goals. I urge the Wabash Valley and the Terre Haute community to join me in welcoming Coach Moren to the Sycamore family."

"I'm very excited and thrilled to become part of the Sycamore family," Moren said. "We have many things to look forward to in this program, and our work starts today. I'm honored and humbled to lead the program."

Moren, a Seymour, Ind., native, recently completed her third season as associate head coach at Georgia Tech, where the Yellow Jackets have made three NCAA Tournament appearances and enjoyed three consecutive 20-win seasons.

Moren previously served as head coach at the University of Indianapolis for seven seasons, where she compiled a 130-73 record. The 2003 WBCA Region 4 Coach of the Year, her teams made appearances in three consecutive NCAA Division II Tournaments and earned the Great Lakes Valley Conference regular-season and tournament titles in 2002-03.
