ST. GEORGE, Utah-Wednesday, Dixie State senior Division II all-American women’s soccer player Damian Murdock was named as the Pac-West Conference’s female athlete of the year.
Murdock is the first Dixie State University student-athlete in school history to win the Pac-West player of the year award in any sport.
Incidentally, it comes at an opportune time as in a few weeks, Dixie State’s entire athletics department joins the football program in the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference.
Murdock, a native of Herriman, Utah, is a 2-time Pac-West women’s soccer player of the year and has collected 2017 D2CCA West Region player of the year and second-team Division II All-American honors for her heroics.
The consistent Murdock scored at least one goal in seven of her nine starts for the Trailblazers and in 11 of 18 matches, has netted multi-goal games.
She ends her Trailblazers career as the program leader in game-winning goals (16), and finished third all-time in career goals (42), career points (94), career shots (204) and career shots on goal (104).
