HATTIESBURG, Miss. -- Morgan Brown has been named Southern Miss' newest assistant soccer coach after head coach Mohammed El-Zare announced the hiring on Tuesday afternoon.

"I would personally like to thank Coach Mo and Jeremy McClain for the opportunity that's been given to me," Brown said. "It's a great honor to work at this institution and be able to help lead this women's soccer program into the future. Southern Miss has a rich history, winning tradition, and real authenticity. I very much look forward to meeting the players on their return from summer break and getting started - SMTTT!"
Brown helped guide West Alabama to a spot in the Division II National Poll on October 29, 2019, after landing at No. 24 in the rankings. -- the Lions were riding a nine-game winning streak at the time. West Alabama enjoyed three semifinal appearances at the GSC Championships under Brown.
