COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Baylor’s Darianna Littlepage-Buggs was announced as one of 21 participants in the 2025 USA Basketball Women’s AmeriCup Team trials beginning on June 17 at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Training Center in Colorado.



Littlepage-Buggs, a WBCA Honorable Mention All-American, contributed 13.8 points per game in 28 games with 11 double-doubles in 2024-25. The Oklahoma City, Okla., native posted 19 games with double-digit points, 17 with double-digit rebounds, and put together a 20-point, 20-rebound game against UNLV, the first for a Bear since 2022. Littlepage-Buggs was named Big 12 Player of the Week once, scored her 1,000th career point at Houston in February and is one of two players across Power Four conferences with eligibility remaining to average a double-double.



Following the selection of the 2025 USA Women’s AmeriCup Team and a training camp in Colorado Springs, the United States will travel to Santiago, Chile, for the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup, set for June 28-July 6.



Team USA will open Group B with host nation Chile, followed by Colombia, Puerto Rico and Mexico. The winner of the 2025 FIBA Women’s AmeriCup will earn a berth to the 2026 FIBA Women’s World Cup, set to be held in Berlin next summer.



Since the event’s inception in 1993, the United States has captured four AmeriCup gold medals, including titles in 2019 and 2021.



Baylor women's basketball is presented by Central National Bank, a family-owned, independent bank headquartered in Waco, Texas, that provides uniquely personal service while simultaneously embracing the latest developments in banking technology.
