A Kent State alumnus and former All-American for the men's team, Morrow took the reigns and developed the Golden Flashes' women's program from the ground up in 1997. His teams dominated the Mid-American Conference with championships in all 14 of his seasons at the helm.

The Flashes totaled three WGCA All-America honors and 13 MAC Golfer of the Year awards under Morrow guidance. His student-athletes also excelled in the classroom, earning CoSIDA Academic All-America status on three occasions as well as WGCA All-American Scholar accolades 31 times.
A native of Stow, Ohio, Morrow was the first All-America golfer in Golden Flash history, earning honorable mention in 1973. He was the MAC medalist that year and earned All-MAC honors for three consecutive seasons (1973-75). He was inducted into the Varsity "K" Hall of Fame in 1987.
