BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Flagler College's
Carley Tepel,
Jessica Wright, and
Ella Pinder were selected to the Gulf South Conference's All-Academic Team for women's lacrosse, released this afternoon by conference officials.
In order to be named to the GSC All-Academic team, nominees must have a cumulative GPA of 3.20 or better their entire academic career at the institution and may not be freshmen or first-term transfer. The student-athlete must also be a significant contributor to the squad. Other factors include leadership, community service and extracurricular activities. Institutions are not allowed to vote for their own student-athletes. The number of student-athletes selected in each sport is determined by the number of positions normally involved in the playing of that sport. Ties are not broken.
Tepel, a senior attacker, finished the spring with an undergraduate degree in psychology and accumulated a 3.80 grade-point average (GPA) during the 2025-26 academic year. Starting all 21 games, Tepel recorded 84 points on 59 goals and 25 assists. Within the GSC, Tepel finished second goals and points per game. This is Tepel's first GSC all-academic nod.
Pinder, a senior midfielder, graduated this spring with her degree in business and a 3.81 GPA for the academic year. The 2026 GSC Midfielder of the Year served as the Saints premier two-way player. Posting 32 goals and 12 assists while starting all 21 games, Pinder also led the conference in draw controls with 70.
Wright, the GSC's most prolific scorer this season, graduated this spring with a psychology degree and a 3.87 GPA. Wright led the conference in total goals (66), assists (42) and points (108). The Queenstown, Md., native's record breaking season saw her finish with the most points in a season by any conference player since Nicole Federovitch of University of Alabama in Huntsville in 2019 where she had 115.
