New Orleans, LA.  New Orleans Jesters midfielder Mason Walsh has been named to the 2021 National Premier Soccer League Gulf Conference XI. Teams, media, fans, and supporters were all part of the online voting process.

Each Conference XI includes one head coach, three defenders, four midfielders, and three forwards. The Conference XI winners automatically qualify as nominees for the 2021 NPSL Region XI teams.

Walsh captained the New Orleans Jesters to a fourth place finish in the regular season and led the Jesters past the number one seeded Jacksonville Armada in the Conference semifinal.

The Gulf Coast Conference Championship match was not played due to two members of the Jesters squad testing positive for Covid-19.
