he unbelievable career of Murielle Tiernan has come to

an end, as the longtime stalwart graduated with nearly every

Virginia Tech women’s soccer scoring record.

Tiernan closed her career by earning first-team All-ACC

honors for the third straight year, and she also earned

National Soccer Coaches Association of America All-

Southeast Region honors. The forward played in all 19 of the

team’s games and led the team with 10 goals and 20 points.

She also finished with a team-best five game-winning goals.

Tiernan ranked tied for fifth in the ACC in goals scored

and tied for eighth in points. She also ranked in the top 10

among ACC schools in goals per game (.53), shots (62) and

shots per game (3.26).

Tiernan scored two goals in the Hokies’ 2-1 win at William

& Mary, and she had two in Tech’s 3-2 double-overtime

win over Boston College. She scored goals in eight of the

Hokies’ 19 games this past season—and Tech went 5-2-1

in those games.

One of just two All-Americans in programhistory—Jazmine

Reeves being the other—Tiernan departs with four school

career records, including goals (49), game-winning goals

(23), multiple-goal games (nine) and shots (251).
