Jennifer Linker’s old-school Cornell edge: captain, shot-blocker, and late-game spark
Jennifer Linker was a centerpiece for Cornell women’s basketball in the 2000-01 season, serving as team captain and finishing her career with 104 blocks, one shy of the school record. She also earned All-Rookie Team honors in 1998, and reports from her senior night described her as a momentum-setter who delivered 18 points, two blocks, and two steals in a key game. If you want a forward who brings toughness, defensive disruption, and leadership that lifts the whole group, Linker was that kind of fit.
