ST. LOUIS – Illinois State standout Brittany Smith was among 10 student-athletes named to the Missouri Valley Conference Women's Field 25-Year Team, the league office announced Tuesday morning.
The 2017-18 season is a landmark one for the MVC and women's sports. To help celebrate the 45th anniversary of Title IX and the 25th anniversary of women's sports in the Valley, the league is naming 25th anniversary teams for each of the conference's sponsored women's sports.
Team composition for each sport has been determined by a 25-person committee, including two representatives from each MVC institution and a panel of five voters from the Conference office.
