He returned to his alma mater in 2005 and has continually raised the bar for excellence on the soccer field ever since. Notable Bison alumni such as Ben Page and Miguel DaSilva have gone on to play professionally after collegiate careers spent at Lipscomb learning under the tutelage of Morrow and his staff.
