Mar 24, 2021 | Women's Basketball
MANHATTAN, Kansas – Kansas State sophomore center Ayoka Lee continues to pile up honors, as she was named to the Women's Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) All-Region 3 team and is a finalist for All-America honors from the WBCA. Lee is one of 52 finalists and is one of eight from the Big 12 Conference.
The 2021 WBCA NCAA Division I Coaches' All-America Team will be announced on Saturday, April 3.
Lee is the 12th K-State player and the first since Breanna Lewis in 2017 to be named to the WBCA All-Region 3 Team.
A preseason candidate for every national award including the Wade Trophy, Naismith Trophy, Wooden Award and Lisa Leslie Award, Lee completed the 2020-21 regular season with a career-high 19.1 points per game (478 points). Her scoring average this season was the highest by a Wildcat since Brittany Chambers set the school record at 21.0 points per game in 2012-13.
Lee became the first player in the 53-season history of K-State women's basketball to register 450 or more points, 200 or more rebounds and 45 or more blocks in her first two seasons.
The product of Byron, Minnesota, also recorded a career-best field goal percentage of .621 and a career-best free throw percentage of .812. She leads the Big 12 and ranks third in the nation in field goal percentage. She is the only player in NCAA Division I with a field goal percentage of .600 or better and a free throw percentage of .800 or better.
Lee recorded 10 double-doubles, including four straight to conclude the season. Among her 10 double-doubles, Lee registered a 37-point, 18-rebound effort against Oklahoma on January 31. Her 37 points set the school record for points in a Big 12 Conference game, are the fifth-most points scored in any game in school history and the most since Chambers set the school-record of 42 against Texas Southern on March 21, 2013.
In league play, Lee was even better as she ranked fifth for scoring average with 19.8 points per game and led the league in field goal percentage at .629. She was the only player in Big 12 play to card a field goal percentage of 60.0 percent or better.
On the boards in Big 12 action, Lee pulled in 8.56 per game and ranked sixth in the league. She ranked fourth in the Big 12 in offensive rebounds with 3.11 per game.
K-State concluded the 53rd season in program history. The Wildcats will return 2021 All-Big 12 recipients Lee and Carr and preseason 2020-21 All-Big 12 honorable mention selection Ranke for the 2021-22 season. K-State also adds 2021 signees Brylee Glenn, Jaelyn Glenn and Serena Sundell to next season's roster.
