Phyllis A. Mangina

Induction:
1991

A star student-athlete and coach at Seton Hall, Phyllis Mangina led the women’s basketball team to a 93-28 record and four straight postseason berths in four seasons as a point guard. At the time of her induction, she held the University’s all-time steals mark (269), ranked second in assists (441) and was seventh in scoring (1,195 points). Equally impressive in softball, she led the Pirates to an EAIAW Regional Championship berth in her junior year. She went on to become Seton Hall’s head women’s basketball coach and led the Pirates to back-to-back NCAA Tournament berths in 1994–95, including a run to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen in 1994. A two-time BIG EAST Coach of the Year and Metropolitan Coach of the Year, she finished with 352 career victories.
