ST. LOUIS, Mo. -- Senior guard
Anneke Schlueter (Ulm, Germany/Max-Weber-Schule) has earned honorable mention Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete honors according to an announcement by the league office Tuesday morning.
Schlueter has started 22 of 29 games this season and has 105 career starts, which is tied for fifth all-time at Bradley, to her credit during her time on The Hilltop. The senior scored her 1,000th career point in the final home game of her career Saturday against I-74 rival Illinois State to become the 18th player in program history to reach the 1,000-point mark.
This season, she is averaging 7.6 points, 1.6 assists and 1.1 steals per game while boasting a 1.15 assist-to-turnover ratio. Schlueter started 68 consecutive games before coming off the bench in the home win against Illinois-Chicago for the third longest start streak at Bradley since 1990. She heads into this week's MVC Tournament third in school history with 121 games played and currently ranks sixth in Bradley history with 147 career three-pointer.
Schlueter's career 81.8 free throw percentage is fourth all-time at BU and she will conclude her career as the all-time leading scorer in Renaissance Coliseum history. She is shooting 92 percent from the free throw line in 2017-18 and had a streak of 25 consecutive made free throws during MVC play. In addition, her 46 career double-digit scoring games is tied for 18th all-time at Bradley.
A two-time Bradley Scholar-Athlete of the Week selection, Schlueter is a three-time MVC Honor Roll recipient and seven-time Bradley AD Honor Roll selection. An international studies major, she owns a 3.57 cumulative grade point average.
The criteria for the scholar-athlete team balloting parallels the CoSIDA (College Sports Information Directors of America) standards for Academic All-America voting. Nominees must be starters or important reserves, have played at least 75-percent of a team's games, and must carry at least a 3.20 GPA (on a 4.0 scale).

A total of 33 Valley student-athletes met the nomination criteria for scholar-athlete honors in 2018.
