The Lone Star Conference unveiled its 2025 All-LSC Softball Teams and postseason awards, listing St. Edward's softball's KATIE DILLON, ELLA HUTZLER, and SOFIA APONTE among the season's top players. 
 
Dillon highlighted St. Edward's awards with an All-LSC First Team selection and her second consecutive All-Academic Team selection, carrying a 4.0 GPA all four years. The senior right fielder led St. Edward's with a .428 batting average, 71 hits, 42 runs scored, and 29 stolen bases. Dillon ranked fifth in the LSC in overall hits, sixth in batting average, first in stolen bases, and first in stolen bases per game. 
 
Hutzler earned All-LSC Third Team, hitting .341 with 31 runs scored, 29 RBI, and six home runs. The junior first baseman had spectacular moments in the clutch, delivering a walk-off home run against Eastern New Mexico and the walk-off RBI against Texas A&M-Kingsville to clinch an LSC Tournament berth on the final day of the regular season. 
 
Aponte was stellar defensively in center field, recording 82 putouts on a 1.000 fielding percentage, turning two double plays, and assisting on four outs. She also displayed a cannon for an arm, robbing opponents of several sac fly opportunities by forcing runners back to third with her throws to the plate. 
 
St. Edward's finished 27-27 and clinched a spot in the LSC Tournament. The Hilltoppers will play LSC Tournament host West Texas A&M on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
