ST. LOUIS – University of Evansville sophomore guard Camryn Runner (Cicero, Ind./Hamilton Heights) and freshman guard Sydney Huber (Cedar Rapids, Iowa/Mount Vernon) earned All-Missouri Valley Conference honors on Wednesday morning, the league office announced. Runner was selected to the All-MVC Second Team, while Huber landed on the All-Freshman Team. 

Runner earns second team honors after a regular season in which she established herself as one of the top mid-major guards in the country. Runner ranks inside the top five in the MVC in scoring (18.1 ppg – fourth) and assists (5.5 apg – second) and is second in the country in free throws made (196). Entering the MVC Tournament, Runner is one of seven players in the country since 2010-11 to have average 18 points, five assists, 5.5 rebounds and 0.5 blocks per game in a season, with Iowa legend Caitlin Clark doing it three times. 

On February 26 against Drake, Runner scored a career-high 36 points, the most points in regulation in program history, and became the second fastest Ace to reach 1,000 career points. Runner also made program history on January 29, becoming the first Ace to record a triple-double with a 19-point, 10 rebound, 10 assist performance against Belmont. Additionally, Runner has recorded three double-doubles this season. 

Huber lands on the MVC All-Freshman Team after playing a key role for the Aces in her first year of collegiate basketball. Huber started 25 games and played an average of 27.5 minutes per game, the third-most on the team, while also finishing the regular season third on the team in scoring at 8.3 ppg. 

Among Valley freshmen, Huber ranks fourth in scoring, second in minutes per game, and first in three-point field goals (62 – fifth overall in MVC).  Huber has scored in double figures 10 times this season, ranking fourth among all MVC freshmen, and a season-high of 18 points twice.
