Head Coach

Bio

Morgan Dorsey was named head coach of the Centenary women's flag football team on Dec. 3, 2025 as the Ladies begin competition in the spring of 2027.

Dorsey, who served as the head coach of the women's soccer program for six seasons, will guide the Ladies in what will become the 19th varsity sport sponsored by the conference.

Flag football has been one of the fastest-growing sports in the country. Nationally, more than 200 collegiate varsity and club teams are expected to compete in 2026, with nearly 40 more launching programs in 2027. Flag football also has been added as a sport for the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.  

The NCAA Committee on Women's Athletics made a recommendation to all three NCAA divisions earlier this year to sponsor legislation to add flag football to the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program. The vote to add flag football to the program will take place at the NCAA Convention in January 2026. Once in the NCAA Emerging Sports for Women program, flag football must have a minimum of 40 total schools across all divisions sponsoring the sport at the varsity level and meet the minimum contest and participation requirements to be considered for NCAA championship status.

The SCAC sponsored a women's flag football showcase event last spring which was hosted by Concordia University (Texas) and attracted teams from Centenary, Concordia, Hendrix and Schreiner. The success of that event, along with the growing interest in the sport, solidified the league's decision to move forward with women's flag as its next championship sport.
