Her most successful campaign came in her sophomore season as she appeared in 30 games and made six starts. The 6-3 forward averaged 1.6 points and 2.0 rebounds per game, while shooting 55 percent from the field on the year. As a freshman, she saw action in 15 games (5.3 minutes/game), scoring 11 points and grabbing 14 rebounds on the season.

Cunningham on Linthacum:
“Sarah is a skilled post player with size who can run the floor, rebound and finish around the rim. She has high energy, great character and is going to be a great addition to our program, both on the court and in our community. We are excited to add her to our Lady Bear family.”
