FORT MYERS, Fla. – FGCU women's soccer seniors Erika Zschuppe, Lauren Dwyer and Kendal Gargiula were named to the 2025 United Soccer Coaches All-South Region Team.

Zschuppe and Dwyer were first team all-region, and Gargiula was named to the second team.

Zschuppe, who was also the ASUN Scholar-Athlete of the Year, the unanimous ASUN Midfielder of the Year, and named to the All-ASUN First Team, dominated throughout her senior season. She began the year with Preseason Player of the Year and Midfielder of the Year honors. Nationally, she was named to the Hermann Trophy Preseason and Midseason watch list, and was named the Midseason No. 21 Player in Top 100 National Rankings by TopDrawerSoccer.

Zschuppe led the country through the regular season in goals scored (21), points (44), goals/game (1.27) and shots on goal per game (2.60). She led the ASUN in all four of those categories and in shots per game (4.88) & total shots on goal (41).

Zschuppe's early October stretch vaulted her into the national rankings lead. She scored ten goals in a four game span, with braces against West Georgia, Jacksonville & North Florida, and a four-goal game against North Florida. The flurry earned her numerous weekly accolades, including the Oct. 7 TopDrawer Soccer National Player of the Week, the Oct. 8 College Soccer News Offensive Player of the Week, and three ASUN Player of the Week nods (Oct. 6, Oct. 13, and Oct. 21).

Her four-goal outing against the Ospreys featured a first half hat trick; she was one of just four players nationally to accomplish that feat in the 2025 regular season. Her 1,303 regular season minutes were the most by any FGCU midfielder or forward (fifth overall on the team) despite missing a game.

Zschuppe's 21 goals set a single-season program record. She scored in ten consecutive games from Sept. 11 to Oct. 25, which tied the FGCU record for consecutive games with a goal.

Lauren Dwyer was named the ASUN Defensive Player of the Year following her season anchoring the Eagles' back line, which conceded just five goals in conference play, fewest in the league through the regular season.

The 2025 Preseason Defender of the Year and 2024 First Team All-ASUN honoree, Dwyer led 
FGCU with 1,537 minutes played. She started all 18 games for the Eagles and played the full time in seven ASUN games (12 overall). Dwyer spearheaded nine shutouts overall and six in ASUN action.

Dwyer also notched a goal and an assist to cap off her senior campaign, both of which came in ASUN play.

Kendal Gargiula concluded her career by securing her third consecutive First Team All-ASUN award. 

The North Fort Myers native had a stellar senior season, starting all 17 games for the Eagles at forward, where she scored ten goals & tallied six assists. Gargiula finished the regular season tied for second in points in ASUN play, behind only her teammate in Zschuppe, and was fourth in the conference in total points over the full season.

Gargiula and Zschuppe's 31 combined goals is the most of any duo nationally.

Her seven goals scored in conference play rank third in the ASUN, and her five assists over that same timeframe are tied for first. Her ten goals are tied for third (full season) in the conference. 

Gargiula finished the regular season with a bang, recording a career high seven points (brace & three assists) in FGCU's 6-2 win over Stetson. She scored FGCU's lone goal in the season finale against Bellarmine to close with her first and only double-digit goal season.
