MOREHEAD, Ky. – The Morehead State softball team had a pair of student-athletes named to the College Sports Madness Preseason All-Ohio Valley Conference Teams.

She was also second in runs (28), hits (53) and on-base percentage (.466). In conference play, Riddle led all OVC players with a .413 batting average.
