FRESNO, Calif. - The Golden Coast Conference announced its All-Conference teams ahead of the conference championship, hosted this weekend in Fresno. The Bulldogs earned three first team selections, tying their most in a season. Fresno State also picked up an honorable mention pick and three on the All-Freshman Team.
Â
Hailey Andress secured her third career first team All-GCC recognition. She becomes the second Bulldog to earn three first-team honors, and in consecutive years, joining Emily Nicholson (2019-22). Andress is the team's leading scorer and among the top in the league with 62 goals. Earlier this season, she became the program's all-time leading scorer and continues to expand her legacy at Fresno State.
Â
Joining her on the first team were a pair of Bulldog freshmen in goalkeeper Katelyn Mobley and Riaan Bryant. Fresno State had a freshman on the first team all-conference team for the first time since 2022 and just the second time in program history, and in 2026 it had two. Mobley and Bryant also become the first freshmen in the GCC to earn first team honors since that Bulldog in 2022.
Â
Mobley served as Fresno State's starting goalkeeper this season. She racked up 188 saves, the second-most in the conference. She led the league in saves per game, averaging 8.5 in 22 games played. She was a two-time GCC Player of the Week this season.
Â
Bryant is Fresno State's second-leading scorer behind Andress, firing 42 goals this season. Bryant tied for the team-high with 10 assists. She also adds 10 drawn exclusions and 10 steals. She has scored in all but three games this season, including a career-high six goals at Azusa Pacific earlier in conference play.
Â
Stephens, who earned honorable mention honors, was Fresno State's third-leading scorer with 39 goals while also adding 22 assists. She has 16 steals and four field blocks this season. Stephens has recorded a goal in all but four games this season including 10 multi-goal performances.
Â
Mobley, Bryant and Stephens all earned a spot on the GCC All-Freshman Team.
Â
Fresno State hosts the GCC Championship Tournament at the Aquatics Center this weekend (April 10-12). As the Bulldogs secured the No. 2 seed, they have a first-round bye and will play first in Saturday's semifinal. More bracket information is available here. Tickets are available for purchase here.
