Danika "Dani" Hepner has been named the Co-Head Women's Soccer coach to lead the women's soccer team for the 2025 season. 

Hepner is no stranger to MCC as she is a recent alum and currently works in the admissions office. Hepner was on the women's volleyball team from 2020-2023 and helped lead the team to two Final Four finishes and a runner-up finish at the NCCAA DII National Volleyball Championships. 

While new to the sport of soccer, Coach Hepner brings a wealth of knowledge in leading others in spiritual growth, building a positive team culture, and thrives while investing and serving others. 

Dani will also help sponsor men's and women's cross country, as well as women's golf. 

Originally from Derby, KS, Coach Hepner resides in Manhattan with her husband, Tyler Hepner, who will also serve the women's soccer team as an assistant coach.
