JONESBORO, Ark. (6/1/16) – Arkansas State University women's basketball standout Aundrea Gamble can add another award to her long list of achievements after she was named the Sun Belt Conference 2015-16 Female Student-Athlete of the Year in an announcement made by the league office Wednesday morning.

Gamble was one of several student-athletes from across the league to be honored for their success during the past season and in winning the award became just the second female at A-State to win the Sun Belt's highest year-end honor.

This Student-Athlete of the Year award is also the fifth all-time for Arkansas State, giving it the most of any Sun Belt school since the award's inception in 1999-00. All five of the Red Wolves' award winners, Alex Carrington, Ryan Aplin (two-time), Sharika Nelvis and Gamble, have come since the 2009-10 season.

Gamble is the only women's basketball player in league history to win the Sun Belt Conference Women's Basketball Student-Athlete of the Year award three times and finished her career having helped lead Arkansas State to three consecutive WNIT appearances and two SBC regular season championships. She is also the only player in program history to be named an All-American in back-to-back seasons, garnering WBCA Honorable Mention All-America honors after her junior campaign and Senior CLASS Second-Team All-American plaudits this past year.

This past season she helped led the Red Wolves on one of the most historic runs through the Sun Belt Conference season in the league's history. A-State won 18-consecutive games and finished with mark of 19-1 mark to claim its second regular season championship in the last three seasons. At the time, the 18-game winning streak ranked as the fourth longest in the nation.

On the court, the McKinney, Texas native ranked in the top-50 in the NCAA in points per game, free-throw percentage, final points, minutes played per game, assists, field goals made and minutes played. Gamble's 18.8 points per game ranked second best in the conference, while she led the league with 164 assists on the year. She also held elite company with UCONN's Breanna Stewart as the only two players in the nation to average over 18 points, four assists and shot over 50 percent per game this season.

For her career she ranks fourth in program history with 1,932 points and is tied for second with 479 assists in her collegiate career. Gamble was one of six active players in the NCAA this past season with over 1,600 points, 400 rebounds and 400 assists in her career. Her arrival in Jonesboro also marked one of the most successful eras in school history, including three consecutive WNIT appearances and 73 wins in a three-year period.

Also a nominee for the NCAA Woman of the Year honor, she has accounted for one of the highest GPAs on the team, including being named the Sun Belt Conference Commissioner's List for achieving as GPA of 3.5 or higher during the last school year.

The redshirt senior also volunteered her time to the United Way through several service projects in conjunction with the women's basketball team. She also worked several community events including handing out water at local 5K races and volunteered her time during the holiday season at the “Winter Wonderland” Christmas exhibit.

Since graduating, Gamble has pursued a career as a high school basketball coach while also continuing to work on her postgraduate degree.
