Prior to her time at Pfeiffer, Morton was the coach at West Stanley High School for eight years where she guided the girl's team to playoff appearances every year. Morton succeeded John Duncan who compiled a .750 winning percentage and won no less than 19 games each year during his seven year stint. In her inaugural season at Catawba, Morton delivered a 22-9 record, won both the regular season championship and conference tourney, and made an NCAA appearance. Coming off a disappointing 9-19 mark in 2006, Morton redeemed herself in 2007, going 20-9 but did not receive an NCAA bid.
