CHAPEL HILL, N.C. - North Carolina women's basketball freshman Camille Little has been selected as a finalist for Kodak/WBCA All-America honors. The 6-1 forward from Winston-Salem, N.C., is one of six finalists from Region 2 and among 48 in the nation. The 10-member All-America team will be announced on April 3.
Other Region 2 finalists are Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis from Duke, Kaayla Chones from NC State, Katie Feenstra from Liberty and Lakeia Stokes from Clemson. The others in District 2 are seniors, except for Feenstra, a junior. Little is the only freshman among the 48 national finalists.
The honor comes as Little closes in on the end of a successful freshman campaign. Voted the 2004 Atlantic Coast Conference Rookie of the Year, she was named to the All-ACC first team and to the All-ACC Tournament first team. Little is currently averaging 14.1 points and 8.0 rebounds per game. She ranks sixth in the ACC in scoring, a close second on the UNC team to classmate Ivory Latta, who is averaging 14.3 points per game and has scored 428 points this season to Little's 424. Little's rebounding average ranks a close second on the team and in the conference to UNC sophomore La'Tangela Atkinson, who has 242 rebounds this season to Little's 241.
The Tar Heels are 24-6 on the season and await Sunday's announcement of the NCAA Tournament bracket. Carolina, ranked No. 9 in the Associated Press poll and No. 11 in the coaches' poll, is expected to receive an at-large bid to the field.
