WHEN IT ALL BEGAN

THE ROAD TO RUTGERS
Stringer began her teaching and coaching career at Cheyney, a small, historically-black school outside of Philadelphia, Pa., in the early 1970s. Even before the seeds of Title IX had truly started to take root nationally, Stringer and her Wolves were playing to packed houses and creating a name for themselves on the East Coast.
In 1982, the NCAA sponsored its first-ever National Championship for women’s basketball, and Cheyney did the unthinkable by advancing to that first Final Four, losing to Louisiana Tech in the championship game. For Stringer and her players (not much older than herself), Cheyney’s postseason run put the small university on the national map, as well as on par with the national powerhouse programs.
Following 12 successful and fulfilling seasons at Cheyney, Stringer sought out a new challenge and found that opportunity at the University of Iowa. Beginning with the 1983-84 season, Stringer built a program that helped elevate women’s basketball to a whole new level. When Stringer got to Iowa, the Hawkeyes had won just seven games the season before her arrival and were ranked 299 out of 302 teams nationally in attendance.
Stringer helped the team achieve unprecedented amounts of attention, including women’s basketball’s first-ever advance sellout at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
Stringer’s hard work and dedication culminated in Iowa’s trip to the 1993 Final Four, a feat that made her the first coach in history to lead two different schools to the national semifinals.
