Texas A&M Coach Jamie Morrison leads Team USA to Gold at U19 NORCECA
Coach Morrison and the United States win the U19 Pan-American Cup ‼️🥇This marks Coach Morrison's fourth straight international title with the U19's 🤯🥇🥇🥇🥇They swept Mexico in the final for the win 👍#GigEm // #AggieVB Texas A&M volleyball coach Jamie Morrison is bringing home some gold after leading the United States Women's U19 National Team to a title at the 2025 North, Central America and Caribbean Volleyball Confederation Pan American Cup (NORCECA). Morrison has long been a mainstay on the international volleyball stage, having been part of three Olympic medal-winning teams, earning gold with the men's team in 2008, silver with the women's team in 2012, and bronze with the women's team in 2016. In the U19 Pan American bracket, he's become a consistent medal winner over the past three summers. When the lights dimmed at Queens College in Kingston, Ontario, Canada, Morrison secured his fourth straight title. Team USA dropped just one set across 16 matches. Mexico, which the team had swept earlier in the tournament, put up a valiant effort in the final. Still, Morrison's squad completed its fourth sweep of the tournament with a 3-0 win over Mexico (25-21, 25-22, 25-21). Under Morrison's leadership, Texas A&M volleyball has taken a significant leap, reaching the Sweet 16 in just his second season. The program also recently secured a commitment from the top setter in the country, setting the stage for a strong 2025 campaign. We wish the Aggies the best this upcoming season.
