Gamble named top athlete in Sun Belt
Arkansas State's Aundrea Gamble already was considered the Sun Belt Conference's top women's basketball player the past three years. Now the guard ends her career as the league's top female athlete overall.
Gamble was named the Sun Belt's female athlete of the year Wednesday, the culmination of a career in which she was named first-team all-Sun Belt and named player of the year in each of the past three seasons. Gamble, from McKinney, Texas, is the second female athlete from ASU to win the award in the past three years. Track and field member Sharika Nelvis won the award in 2014.
Gamble was second in the Sun Belt with 18.8 points per game and led the league with 164 assists while guiding ASU to a regular-season title, a trip to the WNIT and a 27-6 overall record. She finished her career fourth on ASU's all-time scoring chart with 1,932 points in three seasons, and tied for second with 479 assists, in three seasons.
