The trio of Clark, Cunningham and teammate Lexie Hull proved to be an effective and attractive force in terms of popularity when they were all on the court at the same time last year. Along the way, they earned a mysterious social media nickname, which they later adopted for themselves: “Tres Leches,” which translates from Spanish to “three milks” and refers to a popular Latin American sponge cake.
“We saw it on Twitter at one point, and people ran with it,” Hull previously told PK Press Club Digital of the nickname. “It was funny.”

Cunningham gained fame and favor among Fever fans when she started an on-court altercation with opposing players in defense of Clark last year.
During a game between the Fever and Connecticut on June 17, the physical aspect turned into a fight. After the Jacy Sheldon Sun Guard » poked Clark in the eyes and fellow Sun Marina Mabrey pushed Clark to the ground, Cunningham committed a serious foul on Sheldon, sparking an on-court fight that resulted in three expulsions.
