Shae Littleford, the daughter of Jim and Karen Littleford, was named the Ohio Valley Conference Freshman Basketball Player of the Week.

The Charleston High School graduate is a 5-foot-7 guard who averaged 15 points, 4.5 rebounds, two assists and four steals as UT Martin went 1-1 last week.

She reached double digits in points in both games. In the win over Austin Peay, Littleford scored a season-high 16 pionts on five of nine shooting while going six for seven from the free throw line. She also tallied four rebounds, four steals and three assists in the win to snap a six-game losing streak.

Against Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville, she scored 14 points with five rebounds, four steals and one assist.

Others nominated were Lyric Cole (Austin Peay), Tessa Miller (Belmont), Julie Bengtson (Eastern Illinois), Halle Smith (Southeast Missouri) and Gia Adams (Tennessee State).
