Indiana Fever goalkeeper Lexie Hull was among those honored in Glamour’s 2025 Women of the Year award.
Hull joined the Fever in 2022 after a standout college career at Stanford. She was selected 6th overall in the 2022 draft. She didn’t receive starting minutes right away, averaging around 12.8 per game during her rookie season.

As she grew as a player, Hull’s minutes increased. Indiana selected Caitlin Clark with the top pick in 2024 and her role in the offense has started to take off. She received Sixth Woman of the Year votes in 2024, then averaged a career-high 7.2 points per game in 2025. She started 30 of the 44 games she played in under head coach Stephanie White.
Hull has been part of the Clark experience and the increased support and spotlight the Fever has received since the WNBA star entered the league.

Indiana has also been involved in some of the league’s most intense matchups since the 2024 season. Fever players Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham were involved in some heated moments against the Connecticut Sun. Hull told Glamor that she felt like the team had a small target on their back.
“I think there’s a certain level of jealousy when it comes to Fever, just because of the media attention and the fans that have come out to support us since Caitlin came on board,” she said. “We heard people, players and teams talking in their locker room: ‘We can’t let the Fever win.'”
Hull suggested that these claims were not necessarily a bad thing.

“If you have extra motivation to beat us because of something out of our control, that’s OK, if that’s what it takes for you to come out and try even harder,” she added. “I think a little bit of that is needed across the league…Everyone should feel like they’re getting the best out of everyone, and I feel like we’re getting the best out of everyone.”
Hull is preparing to begin its fourth season with The Fever. The WNBA and its players union hope to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The current deal expires later this week.
