Rachel Moreland joined the Emory women's soccer program as an assistant coach in June 2008.  In August of 2012, she was named Associate Coach.

During Moreland's nine seasons as a member of the women's soccer staff, the Eagles have a record of 116-31-33, good for a .736 winning percentage.  She has helped lead the Eagles to NCAA Tournament appearances and at least 15 wins in 2008, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013.  Emory has won University Athletic Association (UAA) Championships under Moreland's leadership during the 2008 and 2011 seasons.  She was a contributing factor to Emory's most successful season-to-date, a National Runner-Up finish during the 2012 season, and a 15-2-7 record for the campaign.

Moreland helped guide the Eagles to a record-setting 2011 campaign, during which the team notched the first undefeated regular season in Emory Athletics history and matched the program high-water mark for wins with a 17-1-2 record.  The Eagles advanced to the NCAA Championships for Moreland's third time, reaching the round of 16.

During the 2010 campaign, Moreland’s efforts contributed to the team's 16-2-4 overall record and trip to the quarterfinals of the NCAA Championships.  During her first year with the team in 2008, she helped the Eagles go 16-4-1 and reach the NCAA Tournament round of 32.

Moreland came to the Emory program after a two-year stint as a graduate assistant coach at UNC-Pembroke, an NCAA Division II member.  During the 2007 season, she helped guide the Lady Braves to a 12-6-1 record.

As a player, Moreland was a four-year starter (2002-05) and two-time captain at Limestone College (SC).  A three-time All-Carolinas/Virginia Athletic Conference pick, she played in 67 games during her career, 60 in a starting capacity, and finished with 41 points including a 20-point campaign (nine goals and two assists) in 2003.  In addition to her soccer exploits, Moreland played for the fifth-ranked Limestone women's lacrosse team during her last semester as an undergraduate and helped the Lady Saints to a Final Four appearance.

Her coaching resume includes five years as an instructor at the Denison Cabral Soccer Academy.  Rachel also enjoyed a brief stay as a member of the W-League's Maryland Pepsi Pride Practice squad.

A member of the CVAC Presidential honor roll, Moreland earned her Bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Limestone in 2006.  Most recently, she obtained her Master's Degree in Physical Education-Sports Administration from UNC-Pembroke in May of 2008.

Rachel holds an NSCAA Advanced National Diploma and a USSF 'D' License.  She has also served as a coach with the Cobb Futbol Club.
