Lepley Named Third Team All-American by TopDrawerSoccer

LOS ANGELES – UCLA redshirt junior midfielder Tucker Lepley was named a Third Team All-American by TopDrawerSoccer on Monday morning.

The All-American designation is Lepley's second postseason honor of 2023, and is the latest in a string of accolades for Lepley. The Charlotte, N.C. native has earned Third Team All-American by United Soccer Coaches, First Team All-Far West Region, and earned First Team All-Pac-12 honors in 2023.

Lepley was a consistent contributor in all facets of the game this past season, playing and starting in all 18 of UCLA's games in 2023. Lepley finished the campaign with three goals and two assists. He played all 90 minutes in nine of UCLA's contests in 2023, and played at least 75 minutes in 17 of 18 games throughout the season. Lepley also led the Bruins to an unbeaten 6-0-4 mark in Pac-12 play, and helped UCLA earn its first Pac-12 title since 2012. The redshirt junior scored in wins at UC Irvine, vs. California, and at San Diego State. He also earned assists in the Bruins' season opener against Virginia Tech, and notched an assist at UC Irvine. In games Lepley scored or assisted UCLA went 4-0 on the season.

For his career, Lepley has tallied 11 goals and 10 assists across 45 games. The midfielder enjoyed a breakout campaign in his redshirt freshman season in 2021 when he scored five goals and dished out an additional seven assists to lead the team in points with 17. For his efforts, Lepley was named to the Far West All-Region Second Team after the season, earned College Soccer News All-Freshman First Team honors, and was named to the TopDrawerSoccer Freshman Best XI First Team in 2021.

He is the first Bruin to earn multiple All-American honors in the same season since Leo Stolz and Michael Amick both earned multiple All-American honors in 2014.
