Prior to Georgia State, Morton coached at Mercer from 2015-18 where she helped the Bears earn a trip to their first-ever NCAA Tournament appearance in the 2017-18 campaign. That season Mercer won the SoCon Championship and broke into the USA Today Coaches Poll Top-25.
In addition, Morton helped oversee the development of Kahlia Lawrence at Mercer, who was a three-time SoCon Player of the Year and selected in the 2018 WNBA Draft. Mercer also made back-to-back WNIT appearances in 2015-16 and 2016-17.
