EVANSVILLE - For the second time in her career, University of Evansville women's basketball's Abby Feit has been recognized by the Missouri Valley Conference for her academic efforts, this time earning a spot on the conference's scholar-athlete second team, it was announced in a release from the conference office on Tuesday morning.

A clinical laboratory science major, Feit holds a 3.61 GPA and was recognized as an honorable mention scholar-athlete selection a year ago. Feit also got the job done on the court this season, where she finished fifth in the conference in scoring average, pouring-in 14.8 points per game, and second in rebounding, finishing the season just shy of averaging a double-double with 8.9 boards per contest.

The criteria for the scholar-athlete team balloting parallels the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) standards for the Academic All-America voting. Nominees must be starters or important reserves, have played at least 75-percent of a team's games, and must carry at least a 3.30 GPA (on a 4.0 scale). 
    
Student-athletes must also have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their institution (true and redshirt freshmen are not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at the institution.

A total of 33 Valley student-athletes met the nomination criteria for scholar-athlete honors in 2022.
