MURRAY, Ky. - Murray State Soccer has announced the addition of Megan Wilson to the Racers' coaching staff as a graduate assistant for the 2026 season.
Wilson spent four seasons as a player at Murray State (2021-25), serving as team captain during her senior campaign. A native of Maidstone, England, she earned a psychology degree during her time with the program.
Wilson capped her playing career with one of the most decorated individual seasons in program history in 2025, earning First Team All-Missouri Valley Conference and MVC Defender of the Year honors, as well as United Soccer Coaches All-Region Third Team recognition. She was also named MVC Defensive Player of the Week once during the season. Wilson led the Racers in minutes played while contributing two goals, four assists and a game-winning goal on the offensive end.
Prior to her senior season, Wilson appeared in 17 matches as a junior in 2023, scoring her first career goal Oct. 5 against Northern Iowa and logging a season-high 76 minutes in the opening round of the MVC Tournament against Evansville. As a sophomore in 2022, she played in 20 games with nine starts and recorded her first two career assists Oct. 9 against Illinois State. Wilson appeared in 18 matches as a freshman in 2021 before a shoulder injury cut her season short.
Before coming to Murray State, Wilson represented West Ham United's under-21 side for two years in her native England, winning two School National Southern Cups during that time.
"We are super excited to add Megan to the staff," Madsen said. "She is a Racer through and through. Since we got on campus, she has provided us with valuable insights on all things Murray State. Not only was she a great player, but she has a great soccer mind, and we can't wait to see the impact she has in this new role."
