Chelsea Ray has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Diver of the Week for the week of Nov. 2-8.

Ray, three-time Missouri State diver of the year dove against the Lindenwood University Lions on Nov. 6.

Ray scored a 254.40 on the one-meter board, just missing the zone qualifying mark of 255.00. She later came and racked up a score of 274.27 off of the high board. Ray placed first in both events.
Ray and the Bears will return to action on Nov. 20, when they travel to West Lafayette, Ind. to compete in the Purdue Invitational.
