Sophie Cunningham sends strong message.
Sophie Cunningham Offers Solution for Indiana Fever After Loss on Friday originally appeared on Athlon Sports.
Under head coach Stephanie White, the Indiana Fever have faced their share of tough breaks this season.
Indiana has played a majority of the games without Caitlin Clark who is out due to injury and they recently received a news that Aari McDonald and Sydney Colson would be out for the rest of the season with injuries of their own.
While Clark and a few other members of the backcourt have been out, Sophie Cunningham and several other stars have taken over.
On Friday, the Fever were dealt an unfortunate loss, losing to the Washington Mystics 88-84. And Cunningham shared a solution after they lost back-to-back games.
"Not a lot of teams can beat us," Cunningham said. "For us, it’s just remembering who we are. Got to get back to being dogs. Got to get back to being on our front foot. Not allowing teams to come in here and outwork us."
Throughout the 2025 season, Clark has posted 16.5 points, 5.0 rebounds and 8.8 assists per game.
All pressure lies on Cunningham and other stars on the team, but the Fever guard made it clear that as long as Indiana stays within their identity, they should find success.
Cunningham has been strong for the Fever during her first season with the team, averaging 8.9 points, 3.6 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
She stars alongside Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Natasha Howard and others while Clark is on the sideline.
