JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – The Queens University of Charlotte women's soccer program earned three selections to the 2025 Academic All-ASUN Team, as senior captains Sejla Podzic, Savannah Stuart, and senior defender Ella Glover were honored by the conference for combining exceptional academic achievement with meaningful on-field contributions this season.

"Three awards on the Academic All-ASUN Team speaks to the academic strength of Queens, the importance the pursuit of their degree has in our team culture, and the true 'student-athlete' that Sejla, Savannah, and Ella embody," said head coach Shannon Neely Noel.

The recognition marks a milestone for Queens, as Podzic, Stuart, and Glover became the program's first Academic All-ASUN selections, underscoring Queens continued growth in its fourth year at the Division I level and the team's rising presence in the classroom and across the conference.

Senior captain Sejla Podzic anchored the Royals back line while leading the team with 1,699 minutes played across 19 starts. The Business major finished the year with two goals and one assist, playing 18 complete matches and helping Queens record five shutouts. Academically, Podzic holds a 3.95 GPA and has earned President's or Dean's List honors every semester. She is a member of Beta Gamma Sigma and Phi Kappa Phi, two of the nation's most prestigious academic honor societies, and serves as a Resident Assistant on campus.

Senior captain Savannah Stuart earned Academic All-ASUN distinction after another consistent season defensively, starting all 19 matches and logging 1,591 minutes. Stuart has started and played in all 65 matches of her Queens career, ranking among the program's all-time leaders in starts. A Biochemistry major with a 3.93 GPA, she has earned Dean's List recognition each semester and is the 2025–26 recipient of the Virginia Martin Scholarship, awarded annually to one biology or biochemistry student. Stuart also represented Queens in UNC Charlotte's Nano-SURE REU program and has served in multiple campus leadership roles, including Residence Life, Alpha Delta Pi, and the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC).

Senior defender Ella Glover rounds out Queens inaugural Academic All-ASUN honorees after appearing in 13 matches with four. Glover holds a 3.95 GPA while majoring in Exercise & Sport Science and has earned President's List honors in Spring 2024 and Spring 2025, as well as Dean's List recognition in Fall 2024. She serves as Vice President of the Pre-PA Club and is an active member of the Royal Leadership Academy and Athletes in Action, balancing academic excellence with leadership and service across campus.

"These brilliant young women are a great picture of what our program celebrates, and they deserve all the accolades bestowed on them."
