LILIBURN, Ga. - For the third time this season, Colorado State University Pueblo Women's Basketball superstar Alisha Little has been named the National Player of the Week from the Women's Basketball Coaches Association and the Division II CIDA (WBCA/D2CIDA), as announced on Tuesday afternoon.

Little earns this week's WBCA/D2CIDA Division II National Player of the Week after averaging 31.0 points per game, 14.5 rebounds per game, 5.5 steals, 3 assists, 3 blocks per game. 

Little led the ThunderWolves to a 1-1 record, dropping a game to Colorado Mesa University last Thursday and defeating Westminster on Saturday.

Little nearly brought the Pack back against the conference leading Mavericks last Thursday, as CSU Pueblo dropped the contest 72-65. The Pack were forced to play the foul game the last minute of the contest, eventually losing by seven points despite her heroic efforts. Little recorded 29 points on 11-22 shooting and had 14 rebounds.

The ThunderWolves bounced back on Saturday, pummeling the Griffins of Westminster 76-42, behind a 33 points performance from the 2x All-American. Little scored her 33 points on 11-16 shooting and 15 rebounds. Little went a perfect 9-9 from the free throw line on the afternoon, and tied her career-high in steals with eight.

With her 33 points, Little moved within 11 points of the school's career scoring mark of 1,597 points held by Nadia Fercha as she has now scored 1,886 points in her Pack career. In addition, she has recorded 40 double-doubles in the Pack's last 52 games dating to the beginning of the 2023-24 season. Additionally, she is now just 336 points shy of Becky Hammon's state of Colorado all-time scoring record of 2,740 points as she has tallied 2,406 points between Northern Colorado and CSU Pueblo.

The 2x All-American will need just 12 points on Thursday at Black Hills State to become the school's All-Time Scoring Leader.
