After a season in which they got State to their first ever number one seed and found themselves on All-American lists, Elissa Cunane and Jakia Brown-Turner’s basketball season continues.
Wednesday, both were made finalist for the 2021 USA Basketball Women’s AmeriCup Team. After four days of trials, the number of players narrowed down to 20, then 13, before a final, singular cut of one player on June 1st. Out of the 13 finalist, Cunane and Brown-Turner join Maryland and South Carolina as the most represented school with two player.
Cunane had possibly the greatest season, awards and stats-wise, to any player in State history last year.
