Indiana Fever guard Lexie Hull was among those honored as part of Glamor’s 2025 Woman of the Year.

Hull joined the Fever in 2022 after a standout collegiate career at Stanford. She was selected No. 6 overall in the 2022 draft. She didn’t receive starting minutes right away, only averaging about 12.8 per game in her rookie season.

As she grew as a player, Hull’s minutes increased. Indiana selected Caitlin Clark with the first pick in 2024 and her role in the offense began to take off. She received Sixth Woman of the Year votes in 2024 and then averaged a career-high 7.2 points per game in 2025. She started 30 of the 44 games she appeared in under head coach Stephanie White.

Hull has been a part of Clark’s experience and the increased support and attention the Fever have received since the WNBA star entered the league.

Indiana has also been part of some of the league’s most intense matchups since the 2024 season. Clark and Sophie Cunningham were part of heated moments against the Connecticut Sun. Hull told Glamor that she felt like the team members had a target on their backs.

“I think there’s a level of jealousy when it comes to Fever, just because of the media attention and fans that have come our way since Caitlin got here,” he said. “We’ve heard people, players and teams talking in their locker rooms about, ‘We can’t let the Fever win.'”

Hull suggested those claims were not necessarily a bad thing.

“If they have extra motivation to beat us because of something that’s out of our control, that’s fine, if that’s what they need to come and try harder,” he added. “I think there needs to be a little bit of that around the league… Everyone should feel like they’re getting the best out of everyone else, and I feel like we’re getting the best out of everyone.”

Hull is set to enter her fourth season with Fever. The WNBA and its players’ union hope to negotiate a new collective bargaining agreement. The current agreement expires at the end of this week.
