Program-Record Five Tornados Garner All-Conference Accolades

Denaga and Moore Selected to Second Team, Blanton, Hill, and Smith-Fondall Garner Spots on Third Team

BREVARD, N.C. – A Brevard College women's lacrosse program-record five student-athletes secured All-Conference honors from the USA South Conference as the league announced its postseason awards.
 
Senior midfielder Emily Denaga and senior defender Alyse Moore were each voted as All-Conference Second Team performers. Junior attacker Xan Hill, senior defender Grace Blanton, and sophomore goalkeeper Kyla Smith-Fondall each earned All-Conference Third Team honors. Additionally, Blanton was selected to represent BC on the All-Sportsmanship Team.
 
Denaga, a senior from Buford, Georgia, is BC's all-time career leader in goals scored (201), points (256), and draw controls (428). Denaga has helped lead BC's offense in 2025, scoring a team-high 50 goals and recording 57 total points with 25 ground balls and 21 caused turnovers defensively. Denaga has also won a team-high 83 draw controls as well. The fourth-year Tornado improves on her Third-Team selection in 2024.
 
Moore, a senior from Pickens, South Carolina, earns All-Conference accolades for the first time in her collegiate career. The fourth-year Tornado has helped anchor BC's defensive efforts with career-highs in ground balls (29) and caused turnovers (28) in 2025. Additionally, Moore scored three career-best goals offensively.
 
Hill, a junior from Fort Mill, South Carolina, is currently just two assists shy of breaking the BC all-time career assists record. The third-year attacker has accumulated 106 career goals with 68 assists for 174 career points, and has been a catalyst offensively in 2025 for the Tornados with a career-high 42 goals to go alongside a team-best 26 assists for a team-leading 68 points. The honor marks Hill's second consecutive selection onto the Third Team.
 
Blanton, a fourth-year Tornado senior from Birmingham, Alabama, earns Third Team honors for the second-straight season after a big defensive campaign in 2025. Blanton has recorded a career-high 37 ground balls with 17 caused turnovers, and has scored four goals with four assists as well.
 
Smith-Fondall, a second-year Tornado from Baytown, Texas, has earned five wins in goal for the Tornados in 2025, accumulating 124 saves with a career-best 19 saves at Methodist on March 15. Smith-Fondall has also racked up 62 ground balls in 2025 to eclipse 100 career ground balls.
 
The Tornados are primed for their first-round matchup in the 2025 USA South Tournament, as Brevard travels to Buena Vista, Virginia on Saturday to take on no. 4 Southern Virginia University at 11 a.m.
