Sophomores Curt Bradley and Taylor Sinclair have been named to the 2006 Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team as honorable mention selections, determined by a vote of league sports information directors.

 

Bradley, also a 2006 MVC honorable mention outfielder, hit .331 on the season and led the Panthers with five triples.  He tallied six doubles and one home run, recording a .442 slugging percentage.  The Columbia, Mo. native holds a 3.32 grade point average in psychology.  Bradley also is a member of the Panther football squad.

 

Left-hand pitcher Sinclair started 14 games, recording five wins, one complete game and one save during the season.  He finished with a 4.45 earned run average and 48 strikeouts in 85.0 innings of work.  Sinclair was a crucial element to the Panthers' first three conference victories, recording four consecutive wins March 25-April 15.  The Indianola, Iowa native struck out a season-high seven against conference regular-season and tournament champion Evansville in eight innings of work.   Sinclair holds a 3.57 GPA in geography.

 

The criteria for the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Team voting parallels the CoSida (College Sports Information Directors of America) standards for Academic All-America voting.  Nominees must be starters or important reserves, with at least a 3.00 cumulative grade point average.  Student-athletes must have reached sophomore athletic and academic standing at their institution and must have completed at least one full academic year at their institution.
