BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – Four members of the Auburn soccer program were named All-SEC players Thursday morning. Eva Pattison was named to the league’s Second Team, while Gracie Brown, Dylan Driver and Kennedy Husbands were all named to the Third Team.
It’s the third consecutive season that Auburn has placed three or more women on All-SEC teams.
Pattison, a defender from Chicago commanded the field throughout the regular season with her physicality and awareness. In her first season on The Plains, she has started all 17 matches and has gone the distance in 13 of them, including all but one in SEC play. Pattison’s Iron Woman mentality has seen the Tigers secure 12 shutouts and post a minuscule 0.29 goals-against average on the year.
A key contributor on both ends of the field, Brown has enjoyed a productive junior campaign, recording three goals and two assists for eight points while starting 16 of Auburn's 17 matches. The defender has totaled 24 shots, including seven on goal, and scored two game-winning goals. Brown has also been instrumental in Auburn's defensive success, helping the Tigers establish one of the nation's top defensive units while setting a new program record for fewest goals allowed in a regular season.
One of Auburn's most consistent offensive threats, Driver has started all 17 matches and leads the Tigers with six goals and 14 points. The forward has added two assists while recording 33 shots, including 12 on goal, and a team-high three game-winning goals. Driver has provided a scoring spark throughout the season, finding the back of the net against Jacksonville State, Southern Illinois, Georgia State, Tennessee and twice against Oklahoma. In addition to her play on the field, Driver was recognized yesterday for her work off the pitch, being named to the SEC Community Service Team for the second straight year.
Husbands has been a consistent presence in Auburn's starting lineup, starting all 17 matches during the 2026 season. The forward has recorded two goals and four assists for eight points, contributing to the Tigers' attack in a variety of ways. Husbands scored in back-to-back matches against Ole Miss and Missouri, finding the back of the net in consecutive SEC contests, and added assists against Kennesaw State, Georgia State, Ole Miss and Kentucky. Her four assists rank among Auburn's team leaders, highlighting her playmaking ability and importance to the Tigers' offensive attack.
All four women return to the field on Sunday as Auburn tackles LSU in the opening round of the 2026 SEC Soccer Tournament on Sunday, Nov. 2. Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. CT on the SEC Network.
