STARKVILLE – Senior MaKayla Waldner continues to collect recognition at the close of her Mississippi State soccer career. Waldner was named to the United Soccer Coaches' Scholar All-South Region Second Team on Wednesday evening.
She is just the third student-athlete from MSU to earn to earn Scholar All-Region honors from the coaches' association, joining Leanna Baldner and Danielle Kite (2010). However, Waldner is the highest honoree in program history as both Baldner and Kite were tabbed honorable mention.
The Bulldog midfielder was named SEC Co-Scholar-Athlete of the Year earlier this season, marking State's second winner of the award in the last three years.
Waldner boasted a 3.60 GPA and has earned SEC Academic Honor Roll recognition every year of her career. She is a three-time President's List honoree and has made the Dean's List twice. Last year, she won the Newsom Award, given to the player with the highest GPA in each sport at MSU.
The Dexter, Missouri, native led all SEC midfielders with 10 goals and was second in points (21) in the regular season. She broke the Bulldogs' career game-winning goals record (11) and finished second in school history in career goals (28), shots (200) and multi-goal games (5). Waldner is tied for third in career points (59). She is one of five players in program history to score 10 goals in a year and posted the 10th 20-point season on record.
