2021-22: Started all 32 games during her graduate season in Chapel Hill ... Served as a team captain ... Averaged 8.8 points and 2.7 points per game ... Scored 15 points, equal to the team lead, in her first game as a Tar Heel, on Nov. 9 vs. North Carolina A&T. She was 6-7 from the field and 3-4 from three with five assists and four steals in 23 minutes ... Her high score as a Tar Heel was 22 points, including 9-9 shooting from the foul line, in a comeback win at Boston College in UNC’s ACC opener on Dec. 19. She scored 11 points in the fourth quarter alone as Carolina mounted a late run to win the game ... In the game at Duke on Jan. 27, she had a four-point play to end the first quarter and put UNC up 19-18, and the Tar Heels never trailed again en route to the win at Cameron ... On Senior Day, a homecourt win over Duke on Feb. 27, she finished with 10 points and a career-high 10 rebounds in her first double-double as a Tar Heel ... Reached double figures in scoring a total of 11 times during the season ... Averaged 6.7 rebounds in the Tar Heels’ three NCAA Tournament games
At Princeton: Played three seasons at Princeton, earning first-team All-Ivy honors in her sophomore (2018-19) and junior (2019-20) years ... As a junior, finished the year ranked in the Ivy League’s top 10 in points, field goal percentage, assists, steals, free throw percentage, three-point percentage and assist-turnover ratio ... Passed the 1,000-career-points mark on March 6, 2020, with a 24-point game at Columbia ... Named to the Ivy All-Tournament Team in 2019
At Waukee (Iowa) High School: Graduated as the school’s all-time leader in points, assists and steals ... Team captain as a senior, when she was a McDonald’s All-American nominee ... As a senior, was Class 5A Iowa Player of the Year and first-team All-Iowa ... Helped her team to the state tournament all four years and to a state 5A title in 2015, her sophomore year ... Also lettered in track and soccer
More on Littlefield: Daughter of Peggy and Chris Littlefield ... Has two brothers, Connor and Cade ... Favorite pastimes are hiking, being outdoors and taking naps ... Favorite sports besides basketball are college football (to watch) and Spikeball (to play) ... Fun fact is that she has wrestled a pig ... Athletes she admires most are Russell Westbrook and Courtney Vandersloot ... After graduation, hopes to play basketball as long as she can and then work for the NBA or the WNBA ... Little-known talents are juggling and touching her nose with her tongue
