Lister completed her first season with Princeton in 2018-19.
In the 2018-19 campaign, the Tigers (22-10) secured the Ivy League regular season and tournament championships for the second straight year. Bella Alarie was honored as the Ivy Player of the Year for the second consecutive season while Carlie Littlefield was first team All-Ivy. Alarie became the second Tiger (Niveen Rasheed ‘13) to be named Ivy Player of the Year in back-to-back seasons and the fifth Tiger to be picked first-team All-Ivy three times.
During that season, the Tigers were one of the best in the country in free-throw percentage (seventh, 78.0), blocked shots (15th, 166) and blocked shots per game (16th, 5.2).
Lister had spent the previous three seasons playing overseas in Morocco and Cyprus. She has also worked for the Works Sports Academy over the past eight years as a coach and personal basketball trainer. During that time, Lister has been an administrative director and skills instructor at Nike/US Sports Camps.
The assistant coach played at Cal-Northridge (2012-15) and Boise State (2010-12). As a two-year starter and co-captain, she helped her squad to back-to-back Big West Tournament titles and NCAA Tournament appearances.
“Princeton has a standard of excellence which I have long respected and admired,” said Lister upon her hiring. “I am extremely excited to a part of such an amazing and talented staff at Princeton. I am looking forward to working with the student-athletes and helping them grow on and off the court.”
“We are thrilled to add Cinnamon to our program and community at Princeton,” mentioned Banghart when Lister was hired. “She has such a passion for the game, combined with a genuine eagerness to contribute positively to the student-athlete experience as a whole. She brings experience as a successful D-I student-athlete having played in two NCAA Tournaments, as well spending the last three years playing professionally overseas. Cinnamon is ready to convert her playing experience to her role as an assistant coach. She is a winner and a force for good that we’ll all rally around. She will be counted on immediately for recruiting and on-court development and has already begun contributing to many other areas of the program.”
