Now in its 78th year, the Ohio Valley Conference continues to build on the success that has made it the nation's eighth-oldest NCAA Division I conference. Over those previous 77 years the League has inspired student-athletes to realize their academic aspirations, maximize their athletics potential, and cultivate their leadership skills to prepare them for life beyond their collegiate experience.
As part of a partnership with
Jostens, each week through the academic year, we will honor an OVC student-athlete who has excelled in the classroom, in addition to earning accolades on the playing surface.
This week's honoree is Little Rock senior goalkeeper
Peyton Urban. Last year she was named to the OVC Commissioner's Honor Roll for her work in the classroom. Urban was named the 2024 OVC Goalkeeper of the Year after recording 10 shutouts and combining for another while making 94 saves in nearly 1700 minutes of action.
