Apuzzo, Walls, Linehan Earn CSC At-Large Academic All-District Honors

WASHINGTON  Three American University lacrosse players were named to the College Sports Communicators Academic All-District Women's At-Large Team, announced on Tuesday. The Eagles were represented by seniors Alyssa Apuzzo and Jenna Walls, and junior Kellie Linehan

To be eligible for CSC Academic All-District or Academic All-America honors, a student-athlete must have a 3.50 cumulative grade point average and have significant athletic credentials. First-year student-athletes are not eligible for Academic All-District or Academic All-America distinction. The at-large division consists of men's and women's fencing, field hockey, men's and women's golf, gymnastics, and men's and women's lacrosse and wrestling.

Linehan finished her junior year in the classroom with a 3.94 GPA, majoring in Computer Science. She started every game of the 2025 season as a key piece to AU's midfield, finishing second on the team in goals (39) and third in points (38). 

Walls graduated with a 3.89 GPA as a biology major, and closed out an excellent four-year career on the field as AU's top defender. She led the team in turnovers for a second season in a row, and had the second-most ground balls with 22. In 2024, Walls represented the Eagles on the Patriot League All-Academic team.

Apuzzo's senior season was highlighted by 30 points on 14 goals and 16 assists, and she graduated with a 3.87 GPA as a Health Promotion major. She scored or assisted in all but one game, proving to be a crucial component to AU's attacking efforts. At American's annual SASP Awards, Apuzzo was recognized for having a top 25 GPA among AU's student athletes.
