Anderson, Noe named to OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll

Sikeston native Tyler Anderson and Dexter native Hannah Noe were named to the Ohio Valley Conference's Commissioner's Honor Roll Wednesday.

Anderson, who graduated Sikeston High School in 2013, led Murray State's baseball team with an ERA of 3.41 in 19 appearances during last season's 27-29 campaign. The redshirt junior also had 39 strikeouts.

Noe, who graduated from Dexter High School in 2014, helped the Southeast Missouri State women's basketball team to its first OVC tournament berth since 2009. She averaged 5.8 points, 1.6 assists, 1.1 rebounds and 22.5 minutes during the Redhawks' 15-15 season playing in all 30 games last year.

It's the sixth-straight year a record number of student-athletes have been named to the Ohio Valley Conference's Commissioner's Honor Roll. For this 2015-16 academic year 1,335 student-athletes were recognized for performance in the classroom, topping the mark of 1,275 from last year.

To be listed, recipients must have achieved at least a 3.25 grade point average and have been eligible and on the team throughout the competitive season in their chosen NCAA-sponsored sport(s) and used a season of competition.

Those numbers included 27 student-athletes who compete in non-OVC championship sports that do not compete in another conference (i.e. Southeast Missouri gymnastics, UT Martin equestrian, Jacksonville State beach volleyball) and 130 student-athletes who were recipients in multiple sports (and counted just once in the final total).

"We are immensely proud of these students because they have not only achieved on the playing field but also in the classroom," said OVC Commissioner Beth DeBauche. "These students have demonstrated a sense of balance already in their lives which is important to life-long success. From the League perspective we are proud because we have had continual growth in the number of honorees which demonstrates the Conference's sustaining commitment to the broader student-athlete experience."

Over the past 10 years the OVC has honored over 11,000 student-athletes with the Commissioner's Honor Roll award.
