Kasey Morlock
Kasey A. Morlock is an American former college basketball and volleyball player for North Dakota State (NDSU) who then competed in the NCAA Division II North Central Conference (NCC). In high school, she won a 1991 Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) championship in volleyball for Stewartville High School and was selected 1993 Minnesota Miss Basketball in a controversial vote. She is the all-time leading scorer at North Dakota State.
At NDSU, she earned three consecutive NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament championships and 2 Tournament Most Outstanding Player awards. She was named to the NCAA Division II 25th Anniversary women's basketball team. She earned 1997 Division II WBCA Player of the Year, DII Honda Athlete of the Year, Today's Top VIII Award, Academic All-America and a 3-time first team All-American recognition. She broke the NCC all-time scoring record. She led NDSU to the first undefeated season in Division II history and had two undefeated regular seasons. Morlock led NDSU to the longest winning streak in Division II history. After her freshman year she did not lose a home game until her senior season loss in the 1997 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament. She set NCAA Division II championship tournament records for single-game and single-tournament run free throws made. Following her basketball career, she spent a fifth year at NDSU playing for a volleyball team that finished the year ranked 11th. She is the mother of Will Tschetter.
As a 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) sophomore middle hitter for Stewartville, she was highly regarded by the time the school reached the November 1990 MSHSL state Class A volleyball tournament with an undefeated 26–0–1 record. The team was defeated in the MSHSL semifinals despite a 5-inch (12.7 cm) height advantage over Win-E-Mac High School. Stewartville returned to the MSHSL Class A tournament in November 1991 with Morlock as the featured attacker. They defeated Cook and Concordia Academy in straight sets in the quarterfinals and semifinals, respectively. They needed to rally from down 2 games to 1 and down 13–11 in the fourth game against MACCRAY High School to win the MSHSL state championship in five games. All-State honoree Morlock served an ace to clinch game four at 15–13. Morlock's "strong net play" was considered a large factor in the team's comeback and championship victory.
On November 11, 1992, Morlock signed with North Dakota State. She would cite the recent success (1991 championship, 1992 runner-up, & 1993 championship) of the team and tremendous fan support for women's basketball at the school in an explanation of her choice. Morlock chose NDSU over high major offers including Minnesota.
Despite winning the state championship in volleyball, it was still her second favorite sport behind basketball. Her sister Heidi was already playing basketball at Augustana. Heidi had been a 1990 Minnesota Miss Basketball finalist. As a senior, Kasey was Class A all-state in basketball by the coaches' association and first-team Class A All-State by the Associated Press. Tracy Henderson was selected as the 1993 Minnesota Player of the Year by the Gatorade Circle of Champions following the state championship tournament in March. Henderson was also awarded the State Player of the Year by the Associated Press, and USA Today, but a committee of eight former and present coaches and one sports editor awarded Morlock the Minnesota Miss Basketball title. Henderson was strongly endorsed by black civic leaders on appeal as a co-winner of Miss Basketball, but the committee expressed that it factored sportsmanship into its decision to select Morlock as the sole winner. The decision was controversial because two-time basketball Class AA state champion Henderson claims to have received no technical fouls all season and claimed to have been misunderstood due to cultural differences in her own rebuttal. Committee chairwoman Donna Mark also pointed out that Morlock held a 3.85 G.P.A., while Henderson had only achieved a 3.2.
Morlock joined her sister Heidi on the 1994 all-NCC women's basketball team. She was also recognized as NCC Freshman of the year, like her sister had been three years before. By the time senior center Heidi and freshman center Kasey met for the third time that season in the March 11 Regional Semi-finals of the 1994 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament with NDSU ranked number 5 and Augustana ranked number 8 in the national Division II rankings, Heidi had already set the NCC career rebounding record and was averaging 13.5 points and 10.3 rebounds compared to Kasey's 12.6 points and 7.4 rebounds. Kasey's 17 point and 13 rebound performance to advance to the regional final ended her sister's career with an 82–59 victory in front of her parents, Rod and Sharon Morlock, who were in the Augustana cheering section. Kasey had an 18 point, 11 rebound performance in the regional finals the following night against South Dakota State. During the elite eight run, Morlock was a big contributor with 16 points against Missouri Western on March 23, 11 points and 11 rebounds against North Alabama on March 24, and 8 points in the March 26 championship game victory against Cal State San Bernardino. She was named to the 1994 all-tournament team for her elite eight performance.
The 1994–95 Bisons were the pre-season number 1 ranked Division II team. Number 3-ranked North Dakota team, who had swept the home-and-home season series the year before, nearly stopped Number 1-ranked NDSU's winning streak at 33 on February 24, 1995, when they rallied from a 15-point halftime deficit to take a 71–66 lead with 3:33 remaining. However, NDSU outscored them 10–1 down the stretch for consecutive victory 34. Morlock had 31 points on the night including a basket to start the late comeback and the final points on two free throws with 21 seconds remaining. NDSU became the second team to ever achieve an 18–0 NCC season (after the prior year's North Dakota team). Morlock was the 1995 co-NCC Player of the Year with Sheri Kleinsasser.
Morlock led NDSU back to the elite eight of the 1995 NCAA Division II women's basketball tournament with a 28-point, 11-rebound performance against South Dakota State to clinch NDSU's 5th consecutive NCAA Division II North Central Region championship on March 11, 1995. In the March 22 quarterfinals 87–61 victory against Oakland (MI), Morlock had 19 points. She achieved a career-high 33 points and 12 rebounds on March 23 in the 74–67 semifinals win against Missouri Western. Morlock also made seven free throws in the final 1:42 and surpassed 1000 career points in the semifinals. Morlock contributed 15 points to the March 24 championship game 98–85 victory over Portland State, earning Tournament MVP. The 32–0 record marked the first undefeated season in NCAA Division II women's basketball history. The College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA; now known as College Sports Communicators) named her as a first-team All-American. Morlock was a Kodak Division II All-American and a first-team Daktronics Division II All-American.
