RICHARDSON, Texas – The Lone Star Conference announced its Scholar-Athlete Award winners Thursday, with 29 student-athletes recognized by league officials.

Each academic year, the LSC presents a Scholar-Athlete Award to one male and one female student-athlete at member institutions. These student-athletes are selected as representatives of the outstanding accomplishments in athletics, scholarship and leadership that are displayed on each LSC campus during the year.

To be eligible for consideration, student-athletes must have participated at least two years in their sport and be a member of the graduating class.

Representing UAFS were Nolan Riley of baseball and Mar'Shalia Lollie of women's basketball.

Riley balanced a 4.0 GPA while starting 99 career games for the Lions. He was named to the LSC All-Academic Team for the second consecutive season this year while batting .308 with a home run and 27 RBIs. He had a team-high 28 walks and .446 on-base percentage and had 10 multi-hit games with a 14-game hitting streak. Riley was named the UAFS Business Student of the Year and graduated with a degree in Business Administration.

Lollie earned her third All-LSC award this season after being named All-LSC honorable mention. Lollie was second on the team in scoring at 11.4 points per game and had a team-high 8.4 rebounds per game, third in the LSC. She posted nine double-doubles on the year, scoring 20 points twice and recording double digit rebounds 11 times. Lollie also broke the record for most offensive rebounds as a Lion, finishing her career with 251. She led the conference in field goal percentage, as well, at 54.3 percent.
