Three Trojans Receive All-Sun Belt Honors

LITTLE ROCK- The Trojans had three players who received All-Sun Belt honors, announced Monday by league officials.
 
Ronjanae DeGray was selected as Co-Player of the Year and also received First Team All-Sun Belt recognition for her stellar season on both ends of the floor. Kyra Collier received Second Team All-Sun Belt honors for her outstanding offensive display for Little Rock. Tori Lasker garnered Third Team All-Sun Belt honors for her sharpshooting presence in the Trojans' starting lineup. The talented trio led Little Rock to their third consecutive regular season conference title and earned the top seed in the upcoming Sun Belt conference tournament.
 
Ro. DeGray is receiving player of the year honors for the first time in her career and first team recognition for the second time in her career. The senior led the Trojans in both scoring (14.5 ppg) and rebounding (6.9 rpg) and tallied eight double-doubles on the season. Showing her incredible efficiency from the floor, the Odessa, Texas native comes in at sixth all-time in the Little Rock record book for field goal percentage, posting a .510 field goal percentage in her decorated career. The forward also earned Sun Belt Player of the Week honors twice during the season (1/5, 3/11).
 
Kyra Collier was a major scoring threat for the maroon and silver all season long. As the second leading scorer for her team (14.1 ppg), the junior guard tallied 23 double-digit scoring performances and eclipsed the 20-point mark five times throughout the season. Showing her incredible instinct on the court, Collier was the team's third leading rebounder (4.9 rpg) while finishing with the second-most steals in the conference (37). The North Little Rock, Ark. native finished sixth in free throw percentage (81.3), third in assist/turnover ratio (1.8), and third in minutes played (614).
 
Tori Lasker also received All Sun Belt honors for her outstanding sophomore season from the guard position. The third-team recipient averaged 9.9 points per game to finish third on the team in scoring. Lasker was the best three-point shooter in the conference, posting the highest three-point field goal percentage (44.4%) while making 44 threes on the year. The sophomore tallied 2.4 triples per game to finish fourth in the conference. Bringing the ball up for her team, Lasker led the team in assists per game (3.3) and ranked fifth in the conference in total assists (67).
 
Ro. DeGray, Collier, Lasker and the Trojans will seek back-to-back Sun Belt Tournament Championships this weekend when they get back to action Friday at 11:30 a.m. in New Orleans, La. at the Lakefront Arena. All games will be streamed on ESPN+.
