BELLA CARAPAZZA – FIRST TEAM ALL-CONFERENCE
 
2023 ASUN Freshman of the Year, Bella Carapazza was a key cog for the highly potent Bison offense. Bella has had an outstanding year where she has been directly involved with 11 of the team's 38 goals. When Bella isn't scoring, she is setting up a teammate. She has had two multi-assist games in the year.

Her 7 assists rank 2^nd.  She has taken a total of 37 shots with 15 of those being on goal for an outstanding .405% on goal and she has had one game-winning goal, it's no wonder Bella earned 2024 Preseason All-ASUN accolades before this season.

ALIVIA CARAPAZZA – FIRST TEAM ALL-CONFERENCE
 
Another one of our Lipscomb captains and the leader of the ASUN's most potent defense is as steady and reliable a player as you'll find. 1^st in shutouts(9) and fewest goals conceded(12) in ASUN play is in large part because of the performances of Alivia Carapazza. She has been a stalwart defender for the Bisons this campaign, starting all 15 matches she has appeared in and playing over 1154 minutes. On top of her defensive prowess, Alivia has been a constant offensive threat on set pieces and has contributed 2 assists on the season. Alivia was named to the 2022 ASUN Second Team All-Conference and 2022 ASUN All-Academic Team.
 
 
LUCY REAM – SECOND TEAM ALL-CONFERENCE
 
A two-time All-ASUN post-season award winner and 2024 preseason all-conference member, Lucy Ream has played center back and left back in the league's stingiest defense and proved invaluable in Lipscomb's campaign. An experienced and embattled player, Lucy provided leadership and consistency for Lipscomb's defense by starting all 17 games she has appeared in for the Bisons this season. The lockdown 1v1 defender also showed her attacking prowess by scoring a game-winning goal that contributed to her earning ASUN Defensive Player of the Week once this season. Lucy was named to the 2023 All-ASUN Second Team and 2022 All-ASUN Third Team.
 
 
KAÏNA CESAR – ALL-FRESHMAN TEAM
 
With the most shutouts(9) and the best goals-against average(.560) in the Atlantic Sun Conference season, Kaïna Cesar has had a phenomenal year in goal for Lipscomb. As a freshman, she has started in all 13 matches she has appeared in for the Bisons. She has played in 1080 minutes of action with a conference-leading save percentage of .848.
