Three of the six players named to the All-District Team from GCSU are seniors who just concluded their careers as a Bobcat. The first senior tabbed was the senior goalkeeper Kate Richardson (Marietta, Georgia). Throughout the 2022 season, Richardson led the Bobcats on and off the field, nabbing a Second Team All-Conference spot while maintaining a cumulative 4.0 GPA as a marketing major.
The next senior is midfielder Summer Ligon (Carrollton, Georgia). This season Ligon also picked up a Second Team-All Conference spot while maintaining a cumulative 3.96 GPA while majoring in economics.
Defender Haley Titus (Savannah, Georgia) is the third senior for the Bobcats named to the All-District Team. Titus has had an impressive career as a Bobcat while maintaining a cumulative 3.71 GPA in exercise science.
To round out the list, GCSU added a junior and two sophomores to the list as well. Defender Katherine Crouse (Southington, Connecticut) was the lone junior named from the blue and green. Crouse wrapped up her second season with the Bobcats as she added this honor to an already impressive career while maintaining a cumulative 4.0 GPA in management.
