Women’s Basketball | May 14, 2022

LOS ANGELES — California product Destiny Littleton is returning to the West Coast to join the USC women’s basketball team as a transfer, head coach Lindsay Gottlieb has announced. An NCAA champion at South Carolina, she brings savvy and skill to the backcourt for USC for the coming 2022-23 season.

“Sometimes life comes full circle. Destiny had her sights set on becoming a Trojan out of high school, but then played for two exceptional programs and is a National Champion,” Gottlieb said of Littleton. “We are excited to welcome her back ‘home’ to finish her career and impact the trajectory of the Women of Troy. Destiny is a dynamic scorer who will bring shooting, playmaking and much wisdom to our team. She has such an accomplished past, and an incredibly bright future, and I’m really excited that USC will now be a part of her story.”
