Blake Sisley Named To MVC All-Freshman Team

0

Sisley Finished The Season On A Roll

 LOUIS – Playing his best basketball as the regular season came to a close, University of Evansville forward Blake Sisley was recognized with a spot on the Missouri Valley Conference All-Freshman Team.  The league announced its awards on Tuesday.

Sisley is UE’s first to make the All-Freshman Team since Dru Smith in 2017.  He has played the best basketball of his freshman season down the stretch, scoring 7 or more points in seven of the last eight games while averaging 11.3 points per game over that span.

On Feb. 21, Sisley reset his career scoring mark with 18 points at Valparaiso.  The effort saw him knock down six of his nine field goal tries and four of his six 3-point attempts.  His outside shooting has been off the charts over the last three games, hitting 9 of his 16 outside attempts.

He finished the regular season on a high note, scoring 14 on Saturday versus Missouri State.  He added three rebounds, two steals and a block.  Sisley and the Aces are preparing for Thursday’s Arch Madness opener against Valparaiso, which is set for 8:30 p.m. at the Enterprise Center in St. Louis.

Through the opening weeks of the season, Vetter is the MVC leader in opposing batting average (.175), innings pitched (45.2), strikeouts (62), strikeouts looking (13) and wins (7).  Her 1.84 ERA is 4th in the league while her 62 strikeouts is 22ndnationally.
