Lamar pitcher Chase Angelle was named to the All-Southland Conference Academic first team. Angelle was Lamar’s best pitcher for the season on a 2.01 earned run average and team-leading five wins and strikeouts (65). He moved into seventh place on LU’s career ERA list at 2.86 and led the SLC in complete games (5) and was sixth in innings pitched (98.2). The Orangefield native, who pitched in two shutouts, took over as the team’s series-opening starter three weeks into the conference season. He was named an automatic selection to the team after he was voted to the CoSIDA Academic All-District VII team in early May, which recognizes the nation’s top student-athletes for his performances athletically and in the classroom. The graduate student earned his master’s in accounting one year after receiving his bachelor’s in the same field; he finished with a 3.82 grade point average. Angelle is a three-time vote getter for the honor after nabbing second-team votes in 2013 and 2014.
