Julia Cunningham

Julia Cunningham played basketball at Princeton University from 2018-2023 where she was a part of 4 Ivy League Regular Season Championships and 3 Ivy League Tournament Titles. She talks about growing up in Watchung, NJ, getting into basketball a bit late, her great career at Watchung Hills High School where she is the All-Time Leading Scorer to this day, and the recruiting process that led her to Princeton. Julia describes the transition to Division I Basketball, playing right away as a Freshman, her Head Coach Courtney Banghart leaving after her first year, and how she liked Current Head Coach Carla Berube. Then, she discusses a promising 26-1 season being cancelled due to COVID-19, her decision to take a gap year in 2021 when the Ivy League cancelled all sports, what she did that year, and her excitement to get back on the court in 2022. Julia goes over the dominance of Princeton Basketball in the Ivy League, the upset wins they had in the 2022 & 2023 NCAA Tournament, and her future plans now that she has graduated.
