MONROE, La. (AP) — Louisiana-Monroe women's basketball coach Jeff Dow has hired Amber Cunningham as an assistant coach.

Cunningham served as the video coordinator at Rice University during the 2013-14 season. She began her coaching career in the high school ranks as an assistant at Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.
