The University of Central Arkansas recently placed 100 student-athletes on the Southland Conference Commissioner’s 2015 Spring Academic Honor Roll.

The 13 SLC schools combined to have 1,240 student-athletes that met the criteria. Student-athletes are recognized for maintaining a 3.0 grade-point average and must have been eligible to compete in a conference sport during the academic year in which the nomination occurred.

UCA had 17 student-athletes with a perfect 4.0 GPA. Men’s golfer Pep Angles headlined the UCA list with a 3.43 in business analysis. Angles was a three-time SLC golfer of the year, a two-time SLC Male Golf Student-Athlete of the Year and a three-time SLC All-Academic selection. On the women’s side, UCA senior pitcher Kylee Studioso (3.43 in family and consumer science) was the SLC Pitcher of the Year and led the Bears to the SLC Tournament championship.

UCA had 22 honor roll selections in women’s track and field, 19 in men’s track and field, 16 in baseball, 15 in softball, eight in women’s basketball, seven in men’s basketball, six in women’s tennis, four in women’s golf and three in men’s golf.

The student-athletes with a 4.0 grade-point included: Charles Deckard and James Lacy (baseball); Brianna Mullins (women’s basketball); Kendra Bishop and Brenda Gonzalez (women’s golf); Kayla Gomness and Ryan Holdiness (softball); Amanda Alvarez-Bargueno, Cassidy Crawford, Kristina Horsikyan and Kelsey Williams (tennis); Lukas Bartmann, Jacob Luckett, Al Maeder and Chance Tanner (men’s track); and Brigette Caruthers and Madison Sewell (women’s track).
