Julie Lovett-Castles (1993-97)
 
Julie Lovett-Castles played a role in helping Midwestern State to consecutive NAIA Division I national tournament appearances and to 81 wins during her collegiate playing career.
 
The guard from Holliday finished her career ninth on the school's all-time scoring list with 1,081 points and is one of just 19 players to score a 1,000 career points for the MSU women's basketball program.
 
Lovett-Castles averaged 8.3 points per game while shooting 55.9 percent as a freshman to help coach Jeff Ray's Lady Indians to a 28-6 record and to the Round of 16 at the NAIA national tournament in Jackson, Tenn.
 
Midwestern State returned to the Sweet 16 the following year with Lovett-Castles netting 6.2 points per game as a sophomore.
 
She developed a deadly 3-point shot as an upperclassman shooting 34.3 percent from the arc as a junior upping her average to 9.5 points per game, then connected on 35.2 percent from the arc as a senior tallying a career-high 11.5 points per contest.
 
Lovett-Castles also earned Lone Star Conference All-Academic team honors as a senior.
 
Marquette Wilkins (2000-04)
 
Marquette Wilkins ranks among the best point man to ever play in Midwestern State's great basketball lore.
 
The 5-11 guard out of Austin Connally High remains MSU's all-time assists leader (465) and ranks eighth with 1,667 points.
 
Wilkins earned All-Lone Star Conference honors and was named the league's defensive player of the year pouring in 17.4 points and 4.4 assists per game after garnering preseason honorable mention All-America honors as a senior in 2003-04.
 
He closed out his career with a masterful 39-point performance against Tarleton State in the opening round of the LSC tournament in Stephenville.
 
Wilkins was an All-LSC second-teamer averaging a collegiate-high 18.1 points per game while dishing out 3.9 assists a contest as a junior.
 
He averaged in double figures in each of his four seasons at MSU wrapping up with 11.6 points per game as a freshman and 12.9 points per game as a sophomore.
 
Daniel Woolard (2003-06)
 
Daniel Woolard stands as one of the finest defenders to ever play in the storied history of Midwestern State soccer.
 
The Bedford, Texas earned NSCAA All-America honors and was the Southwest Soccer Conference Defender of the Year as a senior in 2006 when he led the Mustangs to an 18-2-2 mark while reaching the South Central Region finals.
 
Woolard, who also gained first-team All-SSC honors in 2005 and 2006 after gaining second-team mention as a sophomore in 2004, closed his career with the second most starts in school history with 80.
 
He notched two goals and dished out an assist in his four collegiate seasons, but was a stalwart for one of the best back lines in NCAA Division II each season of his career as he was a part of 38 shutouts.
 
Following his collegiate career, Woolard was drafted in the fourth round of Major League Soccer's 2007 Supplemental Draft by the Chicago Fire.
 
After spending the 2007 season on reserve, he appeared in 16 matches in 2008 and 2009.
 
Woolard competed with the Carolina Railhawks of the NASL before making his return to MLS with D.C. United where he made 73 starts from 2011-13.
