K-State senior center Ayoka Lee garners recognition, named to WBCA All-Region 3 team and a finalist for All-America honors. Among 52 finalists, she stands out as one of eight from the Big 12 Conference. Lee’s achievements echo K-State history, becoming the third player to earn three WBCA All-Region honors, joining Kendra Wecker and Nicole Ohlde. Her season stats include 19.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, and 2.78 blocked shots per game.
