BOCA RATON, Fla. – Five members of the 2025 Florida Atlantic softball team were named to the College Sports Communicators (CSC) Academic All-District Team. The accolade recognizes the nation's top student-athletes for their combined performances on the field and in the classroom. The CSC Academic All-America® program separately recognizes honorees in four divisions — NCAA Division I, NCAA Division II, NCAA Division III, and NAIA.
Ainsley Lambert, Kiley Channell, Kylie Hammonds, Gabby Sacco, and Kiley Shelton have received the prestigious nod for their strong performances on the diamond and in the classroom.
Lambert was on top of the NCAA during her senior campaign, leading the nation with 11 saves. She went 7-1 over the course of the season with an ERA of 2.20 on the way to the American Athletic Conference's second team. As a double major in public administration and communications, Lambert tallied a cumulative GPA of 3.77.
Sophomore Channell started 56 games at shortstop and earned a spot on the All-Conference Second Team after leading the back-to-back AAC regular season champion Owls (45-12) with 14 doubles. She also set the individual single-game program record with a five-hit performance on May 2 versus Tulsa. Channell, a pre-business major, has a cumulative GPA of 3.7.
Hammonds, a redshirt sophomore outfielder, had a breakout campaign as the Owls' leadoff hitter. As another All-AAC Second Team selection, she reached base safely in 53 out of 57 games and in her final 26 appearances of the season. Hammonds led FAU in on-base percentage (.515), runs (54), walks (33), and hit-by-pitches (14). In the classroom, the communication studies major has built a cumulative GPA of 3.56.
Senior pitcher Gabby Sacco concluded her fourth and final season with Florida Atlantic making 22 appearances in the circle and owning a 7-2 record. This season, she recorded her second career no-hitter against Missouri State on Feb. 8. As a communications major, Sacco owns a cumulative GPA of 3.85.
In her first season as an Owl, sophomore Kiley Shelton batted for a .312 and tallied 11 doubles along with 22 RBI. She saved her best for last, earning an AAC Honorable Mention in the final week of the regular season and then delivering the walk-off RBI single to give FAU its first NCAA Regional victory since 2016. Shelton is majoring in exercise science and health promotion with a GPA of 3.82.
