The Hustle-First Guard Elevating Marist's Defense
A 5'11" senior guard from Syracuse, Cunningham is the ultimate glue player—a relentless defender and rebounder who prioritizes effort over scoring. In the 2024-25 season, she averaged 3.5 points and 3.9 rebounds while shooting 40.2% from the field and grabbing 36 offensive rebounds (second on team). Her real value lies in her intangibles: elite hustle plays, strong perimeter defense, and leadership. Marist held opponents to 59.0 PPG and 38% shooting last season with Cunningham anchoring that effort. Perfect fit for programs valuing defensive intensity, team-first mentality, and proven resilience through adversity.
