ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville's Josh Jyawook added yet another plaudit to his exceptional senior season on Tuesday as the outfielder was selected to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team.
 
Jyawook, a preseason All-MVC selection, largely lived up to his billing, hitting .352 in conference play and .305 overall on the way to earning a spot on the All-MVC First Team. The Hoffman Estates, Ill., native turned it up another notch in the conference tournament, posting a .563 average over four games, and he went on to cap his impressive collegiate career with a three-run homer in his final career at-bat for the Purple Aces.
 
Jyawook also excelled in the classroom, graduating last month with a degree in special education and a 3.42 cumulative grade-point-average. He is the second UE baseball player to take home an academic honor this season, joining Jonathan Ramon, who was named to the CoSIDA Academic All-District squad.
 
This marks the 20th consecutive season that the Aces have seen at least one player earn MVC Scholar-Athlete honors.
