Ramona Riley-Bozier came to define Morgan State volleyball, as one of the most decorated coaches in MEAC history, and she is one of the most accomplished coaches in any sport in the history of Morgan State athletics. The winningest coach at Morgan State with 481 victories, Riley-Bozier guided the Bears to nine MEAC regular-season titles, four MEAC tournament championships, three NCAA Tournament appearances and five MEAC Coach of the Year honors (1995, 1996, 1997, 1998, 2006) during her career at her alma mater. Morgan State captured its first MEAC crown in 1992, five seasons after Riley-Bozier took over the program. That was followed by championships in 1997, 1998, and 2000. The 1997 championship team was a history-making contingent; after capturing the conference crown, Morgan State went on to defeat Grambling State in an NCAA play-in match. That victory earned the Bears the distinction of becoming the first Historically Black College or University (HBCU) to earn a trip to the NCAA Division I Tournament.
