Two-Minute Drill

After the completion of the fall sport championships, Southeast Missouri leads the 2019-20 Ohio Valley Conference Commissioner's Cup all-sport trophy standings; the Cup is a symbol of overall athletic excellence in Conference-sponsored championships.

Southeast Missouri women's volleyball (23-10) will travel to Lexington, Kentucky, to face #9 Kentucky (23-6) in the First Round of the 2019 NCAA Division I Women's Volleyball Championship.

Southeast will take on the Wildcats in the second of two matches Friday evening. Northern Kentucky (19-12) and Michigan (20-10) will compete in the first match Friday at 4 p.m. Both of Friday's winners will advance to the second round on Saturday at 6 p.m.

Six Southeast Missouri players were named to the 2019 All-Ohio Valley Conference Football Team.

Wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson, offensive lineman Elijah Swehla and inside linebacker Zach Hall earned first-team honors, outside linebacker Justin Swift and defensive back Bydarrius Knighten garnered second-team accolades, and running back Geno Hess was an all-newcomer honoree.

A number of Redhawk student-athletes collected Ohio Valley Conference weekly honors this week for their outstanding performances. 

Women’s basketball guard Tesia Thompson was named OVC Co-Player of the Week. A native of Memphis, Tennessee, Thompson posted 26 points and seven rebounds for SEMO last week. She recorded a season-high nine field goals made in 33 minutes of play.

Make that four weeks in a row. Southeast Missouri picked up another Ohio Valley Conference honor when senior wide receiver Kristian Wilkerson was named OVC Offensive Player of the Week for the second time this season Sunday.
