The OVC announced its 2025 All-Conference volleyball teams on Saturday morning, with Autumn Bax being selected to the First Team. Bax, a sophomore right side hitter from Jefferson City, has now garnered all-conference acclaim in each of her first two seasons in the black and gold after being named OVC Freshman of the Year in 2024.

Bax leads the Lions this season in kills (336), and her mark of 3.46 kills per was fourth best in the conference during the regular season. In conference play, she was third in the OVC in total kills (248), kills per set (3.82), and points per set (4.18). She has a hitting percentage of .248 with a .259 mark in Ohio Valley Conference action.

Bax posted 10 or more kills in 21 of LU's 26 matches this season, and her 665 career kills is already top ten among Lindenwood players in the NCAA era (since 2011).

Bax also flashed her defensive ability this season, totaling a team third-best 162 digs while recording five kill-dig double doubles after having none during her freshman campaign. She was also third on the squad with 39 total blocks.

Autumn and the Lions take on Eastern Illinois in the first round of the OVC Tournament on Sunday at 4:00 p.m.
