Kirsten White 2018-19 JANE LITTLE MEMORIAL AWARD
This award, a silver bowl donated by the West Virginia University Foundation, is given each year to a member on the women’s tennis team who best exemplifies the qualities of sportsmanship and team spirit. Jane Little, a Charleston, West Virginia, native, was a member of the first women’s intercollegiate team to compete for WVU.

When she died in October, 1977, her teammates from the 1973-74 team established this award in her memory.
