Eighteen student-athletes have earned a spot on the 2016 Missouri Valley Conference women's soccer scholar-athlete teams, as announced by the league office today. Hannah McDevitt has received this honor for the Panthers.
McDevitt, a sophomore, played all 19 games for the Panthers this season, starting 18 games. She played a crucial role in midfield for the team, facilitating offense while also tracking back for defense. She led the Panthers with three assists, while also netting two goals herself. She scored the game winning goal in front of 2400 people against Kansas State this season.
 This season, 37 student-athletes were nominated for the Valley's scholar-athlete team. The criteria for the honor parallels the CoSIDA standards for Academic All-America voting. Nominees must be starters or important reserves with at least a 3.20 cumulative GPA (on a 4.00 scale).
 Also, students must have participated in at least 75 percent of the regular-season matches or the MVC Championship. Student-athletes must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their institution (true freshmen and redshirt freshmen were not eligible) and must have completed at least one full academic year at their institution. Sports Information Directors at MVC institutions voted for the team.
