800

High congratulations to coach Vivian Stringer. Last night, her Rutgers team held Depaul to 46 points, 34 points below their season average, on their way to a 60-46 win. It was the 800th win in Coach Stringer's career. In the first ever women's NCAA basketball championship tournament, Stringer lead Cheyney State to the championship game against Louisiana Tech in 1982. Last year, Coach Stringer lead Rutgers to the championship game against Tennessee. In 1993, Coach Stringer lead Iowa to the final four. She became the first coach to lead two different schools to the national semifinals. She lead Rutgers to the final four in 2000, after only four and a half years as head coach.
In 2001, C. Vivian Stringer was inducted into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
