Under Moeller, the Evangels overcame some mid-season adversity at the start of January as MACU bounced back from losing five of six games by winning 11 of the final 12 games of the regular season with the only loss coming to undefeated SAC Champion John Brown in the finale. The Evangels picked up a thrilling 72-66 win over Science & Arts in the SAC Quarterfinal on Feb. 29 while also locking up their fourth consecutive trip to the NAIA Tournament.

As a result of the sensational season, Moeller was selected as the NCCAA Central Region Coach of the Year while also coaching the NCCAA Central Region Player of the Year and NCCAA First Team All-American Shy Christopher.

In 2022-23, the Evangels continued to perform at a high level of excellence on the court, closing out the year with a 23-7 overall record and finished in a tie for second in the Sooner Athletic Conference standings at 17-5. Over the course of the season, MACU wracked up three wins against teams ranked in the NAIA Top 25, including an 83-77 win over No. 16 Sterling on New Year's Eve, a 77-56 victory at No. 19 Science & Arts on Feb. 7 and a 90-66 win at home against No. 17 Texas Wesleyan on Feb. 4.

In a 76-64 victory over Briar Cliff (Iowa) on Mar. 11, the Evangels not only notched their first ever win in the NAIA National Championship Tournament, but also recorded the program's single-season record 28th victory, surpassing the previous mark of 27-8 set by the 2004-05 squad.

Moeller mentored a pair of All-American standouts in Ossyana Ozoani, who earned NCCAA All-America Second Team honors while Lexi Hernandez garnered an NAIA All-America Honorable Mention nod for the second straight year.

In a COVID-19 impacted 2020-21 campaign, Moeller led the Evangels to their first ever Sooner Athletic Conference regular season championship, as the Evangels completed the season with a 9-3 overall record and a 6-0 mark against SAC competition. MACU was selected to compete in the program's first ever NAIA National Championship Tournament and nearly pulled off an epic comeback in an 85-83 loss to Columbia (Mo.) in the first round game.

Under Moeller, senior guard Lexi Hernandez became the program's second NCCAA Division I Player of the Year, also garnering All-SAC First Team honors while junior forward Presley Payahsape garnered NCCAA Second Team All-America honors.

During the 2019-20 season, Moeller guided MACU to its fourth consecutive 20-win season as the Evangels closed out the year with a 21-11 overall record as well as finished in the top four of the SAC for fourth straight year, going 12-8 in league play.

The Evangels put together a record-setting performance in the 2019-20 season-opener against Manhattan Christian College on Oct. 25, as MACU scored an NAIA era single game record (130 points), made the most field goals (54) and recorded the most steals (54) in the 130-39 victory.

Two weeks later, MACU pulled off one of the biggest upsets in program history when the Evangels came up with a big defensive stop in the closing seconds to stun North Texas 57-55 in an exhibition victory on Nov. 7 to notch MACU's first ever win against an NCAA Division I opponent.

In the SAC Quarterfinal against Texas Wesleyan on Mar. 3, MACU picked up its fifth win ever in the Sooner Athletic Conference Tournament and its first since the 2016-17 season with an 80-75 victory over fifth-seeded Texas Wesleyan.

MACU received the NCCAA Central Region automatic berth, locking up the Evangels fourth consecutive trip to the NCCAA National Championships to contend for their third straight title before the tournament was canceled amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.

Shannon was the third-most prolific scorer in the entire NAIA, closing out the year with 641 points (20 ppg) and ended her illustrious career as the program's second all-time leading scorer with 1853 points.

After a record setting NCCAA National Championship season in 2017-18, Moeller led the Evangels to a repeat crown in 2018-19 as the Evangels set single season program records for wins both overall (25) and in conference play (14) for the second year in a row.

Her second season as the Head Coach saw the Evangels make their second straight trip to the NCCAA Division I National Tournament, and this time, Moeller and the Evangels cut down the nets, winning the program's third NCCAA National Title and its first since moving from NCCAA Division II to Division I in 2007-08.

Moeller helped Alexis Shannon claim 2018 SAC Newcomer of the Year Honors, as well as a spot on the All-SAC First Team.
