ST. LOUIS – Indiana State sophomore Bella Peterson was named to the Missouri Valley Conference's Preseason All-Conference Team as the league's preseason accolades and projections were released Wednesday.
The Sycamores, who finished fifth in the Valley last year with a 26-28 (12-14) record, were projected to finish seventh in 2019. Indiana State returns all but two letterwinners from last year's squad and adds to its depth with eight newcomers including six freshmen and two transfers.
Peterson hit .351 in her freshman campaign with 46 hits, 28 RBIs and 26 runs scored in 47 games played last season.
