CLEVELAND, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference announced its list of Distinguished Scholar Athletes from its seven fall sports Friday morning. The Distinguished Scholar Athlete is a sixth-year award that honors the 'best of the best' student-athletes who have excelled in athletics and academics.
Nine Ball State students made the cut, which was one shy of Akron's league-high 10 recipients. Highlighting this distinct group was women's volleyball senior Amber Seaman. The Cardinals setter found her name on this list for the third time in her career. Football senior wide receiver Riley Miller earned the award for a second straight year.
