The Delaware women’s basketball team picked up a 73-56 victory at Hofstra on Sunday. The win marked number 400 for head coach Tina Martin, who is in her 21st season at the helm of the Hens.
“A lot of people worked really hard [for win 400]. This is a team sport and this isn’t for one person.” said Martin. “This accomplishment is attributed to the hard work that some terrific coaches and players have put in throughout the years. They really established such a great winning tradition for Delaware women’s basketball. I especially want to thank associate head coach Jeanine Radice alongside our current assistants Tom Lochner, Jade Singleton and Kayla Miller. I can’t say enough about the administrators I’ve had in my time; they’ve all been so great and supportive. I bleed blue and gold; I love this place. It’s a proud moment for this women’s basketball program and I’m very proud of my players and staff over the past 21 years.”
Martin became the fifth coach in University of Delaware history to reach 400 career victories. Other Blue Hens coaches who have reached at least 400 wins include Bob Hannah (baseball; 1,053 wins from 1965-2000), Barbara Viera (volleyball; 683 wins from 1973-99), B.J. Ferguson (softball; 622 wins from 1981-2010) and Jim Sherman (baseball; 443 wins since 2001).
She will go for win #401 on Friday when UD hosts Northeastern in a CAA match-up.
