WNBA
On April 19, 2002, Caufield was selected with the 14th pick of the 2002 WNBA Draft by the Utah Starzz. The Starzz acquired this pick the day before on April 18 from the New York Liberty after trading Korie Hlede for a first round pick. Her debut game was played on May 25, 2002 in a 79 - 75 win over the Minnesota Lynx. In her debut, Caufield played for only 4 minutes and recorded 3 points and no other stats other than 1 turnover and 1 foul. [2]
After playing in the Starzz' first 8 games from May 25 to June 15, Caufield had her status on the team changed to injured after a potential lower-left leg stress fracture.[3] Unfortunately, due to this injury, Caufield never played in the WNBA again after June 15, leaving her career game total at only eight games.[4] That final game on June 15, the Starzz defeated the Seattle Storm 61 - 54 with Caufield playing a little over 3 minutes and recording 2 rebounds and no other stats besides 2 turnovers and 2 fouls.
