Parr was one of the top players for UE
 ST LOUIS – Fourteen conference softball student-athletes have been named to the 2016 MVC Scholar-Athlete first team, including ten repeat selections, as voted on by the league’s softball sports information directors and announced by the Missouri Valley Conference office today.
Representing the University of Evansville was junior Chandra Parr, who was named an Honorable Mention.
One of the most dependable players in the MVC lived up to that bill in 2016. She finished the season second on the team with a .300 average and bumped that up to .308 in MVC games. She showed solid power, ranking second on the squad with six home runs and 23 RBIs.
Her top offensive effort came in an 11-1 win over Chattanooga as she went 3-4 with two doubles and four RBIs. She belted two home runs in a series-clinching 7-4 win at Illinois State and also made a difference with a long ball in the series winner at Indiana State. Parr was also named an MVC Scholar-Athlete Honorable Mention a season ago. The Accounting major has a 3.58 GPA.
In order to be eligible, student-athletes must have at 3.2 GPA or higher, be at least a sophomore in athletic and academic standing and meet certain playing requirements.
