Shae Littleford Named to All-OVC Second Team

The University of Tennessee at Martin women's basketball team earned a pair of postseason honors on Tuesday as the Ohio Valley Conference announced its year end awards as voted on by the league's head coaches and sports information directors.

Freshman forward Sharnecce Currie-Jelks hauled in several honors, including being named OVC Freshman of the Year while also earning spots on the All-OVC first team and All-Newcomer squad. Sophomore guard Shae Littleford also garnered All-OVC second team honors.  Littleford has numerous relatives in the Effingham and Altamont areas.

A native of Jackson, Tenn., Currie-Jelks posted a dazzling debut season for the Skyhawks in which she became the fourth player in program history to be named OVC

Freshman of the Year, joining former recipients Heather Butler (2010-11), Ashia Jones (2013-14) and Kendall Spray (2016-17). The 6-2 forward has been no stranger to league honors this season as she set a program record with nine OVC Freshman of the Week accolades while also earning back-to-back OVC Player of the Week selections to end the regular season. Additionally, she becomes just the 14th individual to earn All-OVC first team honors in program history.
