Four Redbird Standouts Selected To Softball All-MVC Teams

ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Valley Conference announced on Wednesday that four Illinois State softball student-athletes have been selected to All-MVC teams for their performances in conference play during the 2025 season.

Senior first baseman Abby Knight and senior second baseman Delainey Bryant were both selected to the All-MVC First Team, while junior pitcher Hannah Meshnick was tabbed as an All-MVC Second Team selection. Sophomore outfielder Julia Larson rounded out the Redbird honorees and earned a spot on the MVC All-Defensive Team.

Knight, a Bloomington, Illinois native, dominated in the heart of the order for the Redbirds while playing a stellar first base during Valley play.
