Morgan Wood, former UTA Lady Movin’ Mav, was the foundation for the program's creation in 2013 as the first player on the team.
After graduating in 2019, the road led her back to her alma mater as she returns to Arlington, this time coaching from the sidelines.
Wood was announced as the Lady Movin’ Mavs head coach June 10, replacing previous head coach Jason Nelms. Nelms coached the Lady Movin’ Mavs for nine years and was dismissed by UTA on April 7, according to a letter The Shorthorn obtained through a request for open records.
In an email to The Shorthorn, Nelms said he was fired for violating UTA’s Title IX reporting policy and for being involved in a consensual relationship with a player while they were on the team.
