2025 FALL COMMISSIONER'S LIST

The New Orleans Privateers cross country and volleyball teams had a lot of representation through a strong showing in the classroom in the fall semester. A total of 32 student-athletes between both sports earned a spot on the Southland Fall Commissioner's List.
 
Of the 32 student-athletes, seven earned a perfect 4.0 GPA. Michela Papalia, Anais Sulpice, London Parker and Alexa Daverio achieved that mark from the women's cross country squad.
 
Five cross country student-athletes earned a 3.5 GPA or better during the semester. Also, Clayton O'Callaghan's squad had four student-athletes earn a spot on the Southland All-Academic List.
 
Sulpice and Papalia joined Petra Imre and Mason Appleton who helped tie the most selections on an All-Academic Team since joining the Southland. Cross Country also had four representatives in 2023.
 
Three volleyball student-athletes: Alessandra Meoni, Vanae Sapp and Estrella Vazquez also earned a 4.0 during the semester. Eight student-athletes also cleared a 3.5 GPA during the fall and Coach Ashley Preston's team had five student-athletes make the Southland All-Academic Team.
 
Sapp, Meoni, Lani Alleman, Defne Eciroglu and Courtney Roundtree gave the Privateers volleyball program the most representation on the All-Academic Team in any season since joining the Southland in 2013.
