Biography

Three-time Big West Tournament Champion and former Big West Goalkeeper of the Year Morgan Lark was named the goalkeeper coach for the Cal Poly women’s soccer program in January 2026. Lark, formerly Bertsch, was a standout goalkeeper at Cal State Fullerton from 2014-17, helping the Titans capture three Big West Tournament titles and two Big West regular season championships during her career. Lark, who played professionally, joins the Mustangs after spending the past two seasons as a goalkeeper coach at Division II Fresno Pacific. Lark, 29, had a sensational senior season at Fullerton in 2017 as she was named Big West Co-Goalkeeper of the Year and earned a spot on the All-Big West First Team. She started in all 22 matches for the Titans that season, recording nine shutouts — fourth most in a season in program history — a 12-6-3 record and a 0.745 goals against average. She also claimed Big West Tournament MVP honors to help CSUF advance to the NCAA Tournament for the fourth time in five years. In her first season as the goalkeeper coach at Fresno Pacific in 2024, Lark helped goalkeeper Monique Nevarez set a new single-season school record for shutouts (seven) and helped improve the Sunbirds’ defense tremendously as the team allowed just 17 goals that season compared to the 49 they allowed the year prior. In addition to her experience at FPU, Lark has been providing private and small group training to players of all ages and levels in the Central Valley area since 2021 through
