DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- First-year Bradley Women's Golf head coach Halley Morell has been named the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Teaching and Club Professional Midwest Section Coach of the Year according to a recent announcement.

Morell was one of 21 individuals recognized with the LPGA Teaching and Club Professional annual awards which were selected by the Section Officers and Section Nominating Committee Chair in four categories across six regions. The LPGA Executive Committee will select the overall national award winner in each category (Teacher, Professional, Coach or Junior Leader) among the section award winners.
