Three Racers Earn All-OVC Honors - Murray State University Athletics - MSU GoRacers

Story Links

Three members of the Murray State Women's Soccer team were named to 2021 All-OVC teams. Sophomore midfielder Hailey Cole was named first-team All-OVC, fifth year defender Izzy Heckman was named to the second-team, and freshman defender Morgan Bodker was named to the all-newcomer team.
 
Cole, a Nicholasville, Kentucky native, tied the OVC lead in assists this season with six while adding two goals of her own. The midfielder was a specialist in set pieces for the Racers this season delivering perfectly placed passes on corner and free kicks throughout the season while starting all 18 games and playing over 1500 minutes for the Racers this season.
 
After winning OVC Defender of the Year a season ago, Heckman proved to be an all-conference performer for the Racers again in 2021. A fifth-year defender from Powder Springs, Georgia has been a staple for Murray State throughout her career totaling over 6,800 minutes played in 80 career matches both Murray State career records. This is Heckman's third all-conference honors after being named first-team All-OVC in 2019 and 2020.  
 
A freshman from Sunbury, Ohio, Bodker was a key contributor in her first season as a Racer. As a defender she was able to score two goals and add five assists for Murray State while playing primarily in the pivotal center-back position. She led the Racers in minutes played this season with 1664 and started all 18 games for the Racers.
