Rhegan Hyypio helped the Marquette women's soccer program to its first NCAA Championship appearance in 1999 and went on to become the first player in program history to earn National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) First Team All-America honors. During her career, Hyypio helped the Golden Eagles compile an overall record of 65-17-9 in four seasons, including two NCAA tournament second round appearances, two C-USA tournament championships and two regular season conference titles. Hyypio earned the Robert L. and William P. McCahill Award in 2001 after graduating as the 2001 C-USA Scholar Athlete of the Year and a three-time member of the C-USA Commissioner's Academic Honor Roll.

During her senior season in which she led the Golden Eagles to a 20-3-1 record, the best in program history, Hyypio anchored an MU defense that limited opponents to 28 goals in 24 contests and recorded 10 shutouts. Hyypio was named to the Conference USA All-Decade team in 2005, listing her as one of the best players in conference history. The St. Petersburg, Fla., native was honored in 2010 as the first recipient of the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics' Young Alumna of the Year Award for her missionary and volunteer work in North and South America.
