This week we are asking you who will win the OVC softball tournament? Go vote!
- Austin Peay baseball stands at 22-19, 4-8 in the OVC, two spots out of tournament contention heading into the final games of the season. Here is what they need to do to squeeze into the tournament field.
- Eastern Illinois' Alex Gee’s four home runs and nine RBIs in the weekend series at Jacksonville State has earned the senior Louisville Slugger National Player of the Week honors from Collegiate Baseball.
- Eastern Kentucky junior Noelani Esperas tossed a five inning no-hitter as the Colonel softball team finished off its 2010 season with an 8-0 victory over Austin Peay on Sunday at Gertrude Hood Field. With the win, the Colonels edge the Govs for 7th place in the OVC, but the team just missed the field for the OVC softball tournament.
- The Jacksonville State softball team swept the Ohio Valley Conference’s weekly awards as Chrissy O’Neal and Ashley Eliasson were this week’s Player and Pitcher of the Week, respectively as they helped guide their team to a weekend sweep of TSU. The sweep gave them the No. 2 seed at this weekend's OVC championships.
- Morehead State's Kenneth Faried waited until the Mother's Day deadline to announce he will be returning to MSU for his senior season. Others joined the OVC as well.
- The Murray State softball team clinched a spot in the 2010 Ohio Valley Conference Championship in its inaugural season with a split of its weekend series with Eastern Illinois; MSU men's golf learned they will be the 12th seed in the Notre Dame Regional of the NCAA golf championships May 20-22.
- Michael Adamson of SEMO baseball has been selected to the John Olerud Two-Way Player of the Year Award watch list today by the College Baseball Foundation. He is one of 25 players nationally rewarded for players that make a difference at the plate and on the mound. The OVC has the second most players from its conference on the list, as the SEC leads with 4; Sophomore Kenton Parmley has named to the watch list for the Brooks Wallace Shortstop Award, which has been narrowed down to the top 25 shortstops in the nation.
- SIUE Track and Field signs three area standouts. Emily Conlon (Ballwin, Mo.), Renee Goodenough (University City, Mo.) and Hilary Conrad (O'Fallon, Ill.) will join the Cougar track and field team next season. Conlon and Goodenough will also compete for the SIUE cross country team.
- Tennessee State University Tigerbelle Martinique Guice will look to strengthen her chances of qualifying for the NCAA East Regional Track and Field Championship when she competes in the Georgia Tech Invitational. Guice is currently ranked 41st in the East region in the long jump with the top 48 in each event qualifying automatically for the regional meet later this month.
- The Tennessee Tech baseball team extended its Ohio Valley Conference winning streak to nine games Sunday, completing a three-game series sweep over Austin Peay with a 10-2 victory in Bush Stadium. The win put the Golden Eagles at second place in the OVC; the Golden Eagles softball team lost its final game of the season to SEMO, but two wins in the series the day before secured Tech a spot in the OVC softball championships. The team earned the sixth and final spot.
- UT Martin junior first baseman Wes Patterson connected on his 33rd career home run to become the all-time Martin home run leader today; the 2010 OVC softball tournament field is set, as UT Martin prepares to host the championships this weekend. The team has the No. 1 overall seed, and has a first round bye.
