MANHATTAN, Kansas – K-State women's basketball student-athlete Ayoka Lee continues to add to her trophy case, as she was named a 2021 College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) Academic All-District VII First Team selection on Thursday.
As a program, K-State women's basketball has earned 24 CoSIDA Academic All-District VII citations by 15 student-athletes.
As a first team selection, Lee advances to the CoSIDA Academic All-America Team selection process, where first-, second- and third-team All-America honorees will be selected in late May.
Lee, a product of Byron, Minnesota, is a psychology major with a 3.88 grade point average and will graduate this month with her undergraduate degree. She has been accepted into the couple and family therapy master's program at K-State and will begin her graduate work in the fall of 2021.
Academically, Lee has been a heavily decorated student-athlete as she is a two-time Academic All-Big 12 First Team selection, a 2020-21 Big 12/Dr. Gerald Lage Academic Award recipient and a five-time Big 12 Commissioner's Honor Roll member.
On the court in the 2020-21 season, Lee was a 2021 WBCA All-America honorable mention recipient and a preseason candidate for every national award including the Wade Trophy, Naismith Trophy, Wooden Award and Lisa Leslie Award.
She 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 led the Big 12 and ranks third in the nation in field goal percentage. She was 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 Big 12 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.
