The GLVC Hall of Fame Class of 2025 will be honored at the Enterprise/GLVC Spring Awards Reception at the Drury Plaza in St. Louis, Missouri, on Tuesday, May 20.

Moskal (Buckley) was a part of the start of the Lewis women’s basketball revitalization from 2003-07 during her career. Moskal was named a three-time All-GLVC selection, being named to the first team in 2005-06 and 2006-07, claiming the GLVC Player of the Year in 2006-07. She also was a three-time Daktronics Great Lakes Region Selection, a Kodak/WBCA Honorable Mention All-American in 2005-06 and an ESPN the Magazine Academic All-American in 2007. Moskal holds the record at Lewis for free throws made (615), also she ranks fourth all-time in field goal percentage (53.6), eighth all-time in scoring with 1,761 points, 10th in rebounding with 708, 11th in scoring average, and 11th in field goals made (554). During her time with the Flyers, they always had an over .500 record with the 2006-2007 season compiling a then school record 28 wins as they won the GLVC Championship for the first time in 22 years. Nationally, Moskal helped lead the Flyers to three NCAA Midwest Regional appearances including a host bid in 2007. Moskal capped off her career being given named a 2007 GLVC Paragon Award winner as well as being inducted into the Lewis Hall of Fame in 2016.

Garavaglia was an ever-present for the Quincy Hawks during his time from 2011-2014. He was a three-time All-GLVC First Team member as well as a two-time GLVC Defensive Player of the Year. Garavaglia helped lead Quincy to two GLVC regular season Championships and one GLVC Tournament Championship as well as a run to the NCAA Final Four in 2014. During that 2014 season, Garavaglia earned a Daktronics First Team All-American nod, an NSCAA Third Team All-American, and a CoSIDA/NSCAA Second Team Academic All-American. Garavaglia earned NSCAA Second Team All-American status in 2012 as well as a Daktronics Third Team All-American, while in 2013 CoSIDA honored him with a Third Team Academic All-American honor. Garavaglia started in 84 out of a possible 85 contests during his tenure with the Hawks and helped anchor a defense that set the school record in games won in a season with 21 in 2014 and shutouts in a season with 15.

Fleming had one of the most impressive starts from a player in GLVC history during her time at Quincy from 2006-2010. A two-time GLVC Offensive Player of the Year, Fleming helped lay the groundwork for a Quincy women’s soccer program that made nine regional appearances in ten years. Fleming was named a Daktronics All-American and NCSAA All-American in 2006, 2008 and 2010 with only Daktronics recognizing her with All-American status in 2007 and ESPN in 2008. Fleming scored 19 goals and garnered seven assists in her first GLVC Offensive Player of the Year season in 2006 where she was also named GLVC Freshman of the Year, with the Hawks posting a 16-5 record and qualifying for the NCAA Regional. In 2007, Fleming scored 12 goals and added seven assists as the Hawks once again qualified for the NCAA Regional Tournament. In 2008, Quincy qualified for the NCAA regional as Fleming scored 11 goals and had four assists. A redshirt year in 2009 meant that Fleming was given the 2010 season to add to her tally. An NCAA Regional Tournament qualification on top of 10 goals and nine assists puts her career totals at 52 goals and 27 assists, good enough for second in Quincy history in both. Her 2006 season was one of the best with her 45 points, and 19 goals good enough for fourth all-time in Quincy history in a season. She was also part of a team that won a school record 16 games.
