The "little girl", Finna, was a Nord, raised around fighting and war. At 12, she would have had  short weapons and defensive combat training for about two years. She would have beeth between 5' and 5'5" tall and well over 110lbs.   She was a squire/shield maiden to her mother, hence her presence on the battle field.   Remember, she hurled her dead mother's sword at the Snow Prince in a fit of rage fueled by adrenalin.  He had dismissed her as an unworthy opponent after besting her mother and most likely had turned away.  He did not have a shield and only his spear to defend himself and the lore states he had the sword of Jofrior buried in his chest.   No mention of wheather she hit him in the front or back.
