Both Foster and Orkus landed on the first team for the second time in as many years, while Stackpole received her second all-region nod, moving up to the second team after being bestowed with third team laurels a season ago. Breaking out for her fifth year in Red and Navy, Martin earned all-region designation for the first time in her career as a second team honoree. All four players were also named All-SEC, the most all-conference representatives for the Rebels in program history.
One of the most potent scorers the SEC has seen in recent memory, Foster became the first player in league history to be named All-SEC five times in a career after scoring nine goals and assisting on six more. Suiting up in exactly 100 matches at Ole Miss, Foster finished with 44 career goals, tying Rebel legend Rafaelle Souza for the second most in program history. A fourth round selection in the NWSL Draft, the Murray, Kentucky, native will next make the transition to the professional ranks with the Chicago Red Stars.
The two-time defending SEC Goalkeeper of the Year, Orkus started all 21 matches between the posts for the Rebs, earning 11 wins with six clean sheets. Orkus earned a 1.34 goals against average, posting a .724 save percentage with 76 saves. The senior also came forward to take most free kicks near midfield, delivering the fourth assist of her career.
A four-year starter and key contributor throughout her five seasons, Martin finished her Rebel career on the highest of notes. The Evangelical Christian School product led the Rebels with 10 goals in her final season, having totaled just nine goals in her first four seasons combined, also pitching in one assist. For her efforts, Martin was named All-SEC for the first time in her career.
Already an all-region honoree from a season ago, Stackpole established herself as one of the most dynamic playmakers in the nation as a senior. The Bowling Green, Kentucky, native scored five goals on the season but left her biggest mark as a supplier, ranking third in the nation during the regular season with 16 assists, most in the SEC. Stackpole played a role in 21 of Ole Miss' 36 goals, the most of any player in the SEC.
