basketball and her 29th as a collegiate head coach. She is widely
renowned as an expert strategist and teacher of the game with more than 400 career victories and over 375 wins at Dartmouth. In 2008-09, Wielgus led Dartmouth to its 17th Ivy League

four championships by 1983. She began her second stint at Dartmouth in
1993 and picked up where she left off. Since her return, Dartmouth has
won eight more Ivy titles and finished third or better in Ivy play in
