Morelli was named Sports Information Director in the Fall of 2021, after serving in an interim basis upon the departure of Seth Goodyear. With the added responsibilities, he stepped down form Head Women's Golf Coach to an Assistant role in the Spring of 2022

In the 2020-21 golf season, Morelli helped lead Gia Hooper to the best season in program history. For her efforts Gia was named to the First Team All-PAC. 

In 2019 the program earned their first win in their inaugural season against Geneva at home, Steubenville Country Club. The Lady Barons won 3-1 in the match play event. The season culminated at the Fall PAC Championship, the first two rounds of a three round championship, where the Lady Barons placed 6th out of eight teams. Due to COVID-19 the spring season was canceled, and hence the final round of the PAC Championship did not take place.
