Whitney Cunningham was Coppin State’s rebounding anchor and a defensive force
In the 2008-09 season, Whitney Cunningham emerged as a rugged frontcourt difference-maker for Coppin State, earning MEAC Defensive Player of the Year honors and producing elite interior stats, including 9.1 rebounds per game and 55% field-goal shooting. Her calling cards were physicality, rebounding, and paint defense—plus a nose for big-game work, with several standout double-double and high-rebound performances. She looks like the kind of player who changes possession battles and sets a tough tone, especially if a team wants size, effort, and board-crashing grit.
