COLUMBIA, Mo. – Mizzou junior Sophie Cunningham has been named Associated Press All-America Honorable Mention, as announced by the AP on Monday. It marks the second consecutive season Cunningham has received the honor.

Cunningham is the first Tiger named All-America Honorable Mention in back-to-back seasons since Joni Davis in 1984 and 1985. Cunningham and Davis are the only two players in program history to achieve that feat.

Cunningham arguably had the most efficient season by any player in the nation as a junior. She is the only player in the nation shooting at least 45 percent from 3-point range, 54 percent from the field and 83 percent from the free throw line. She reached double figures 28 times in 31 games and scored at least 20 points on 13 different occasions.

Cunningham scored 18.5 points per game, which ranked fourth in the SEC. She captained her team to 24 wins, the most by a Mizzou squad since 1983-84. Cunningham and company reached at least 22 victories for the third consecutive season and captured a third straight NCAA Tournament berth. Only 15 Power 5 programs have won at least 22 games and gone to the NCAA Tournament in each of the last three seasons.

Cunningham shined when it mattered most, pouring in 27 points on 9-of-10 shooting and dishing seven assists vs. No. 4 South Carolina. She notched 20 points vs. No. 2 Mississippi State, 32 points vs No. 11 Tennessee and 29 points vs. Kentucky.

The standout junior wrapped up the campaign with a Mizzou record for points in an NCAA Tournament game, scoring 35 vs. Florida Gulf Coast. With a career-best 574 points as a junior, Cunningham has 1,563 career points already through three seasons, which ranks eighth all-time at Mizzou.
