Rachel Moreland, Assistant Coach

Rachel Moreland joined the Emory women's soccer program as an assistant coach in June, 2008.

Moreland came to the Emory program after a two-year stint as a graduate assistant coach at UNC-Pembroke, an NCAA Division II member.  During the 2007 season, she helped guide the Lady Braves to a 12-6-1 record.

As a player, Moreland was a four-year starter (2002-05) and two-time captain at Limestone College (SC).  A three-time All-Carolinas/Virginia Athletic Conference pick, she played in 67 games during her career, 60 in a starting capacity, and finished with 41 points including a 20-point campaign (9-2) in 2003.  In addition to her soccer exploits, Moreland played for the fifth-ranked Limestone women’s lacrosse team during her last semester as an undergraduate and helped the Lady Saints to a Final Four appearance.

Her coaching resume includes five years as an instructor at the Denison Cabral Soccer Academy.  Rachel also enjoyed a brief stay as a member of the W-League’s Maryland Pepsi Pride Practice squad.

“I am excited that Rachel will be joining Emory,” Patberg said upon Moreland's hiring.  “She has valuable coaching experience and will make significant contributions to the program.  She has already hit the ground running and is looking to help take our team to the next level.”

A member of the CVAC Presidential honor roll, Moreland earned her Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Limestone in 2006.  Most recently, she obtained her  Master’s Degree in Physical Education-Sports Administration from UNC-Pembroke in May of 2008.
