Previously, she was head coach at Seton Hall from 1985 to 2010.

Early life and education

Born and raised in Orange, New Jersey, Mangina graduated from East Orange Catholic High School in 1977. [3] At Seton Hall University, a Catholic university in nearby South Orange, Mangina played at point guard on the Seton Hall Pirates women's basketball team from 1977 to 1981, during which Seton Hall went 93–28 and made the postseason every year, including the 1978 AIAW national final. She also played on the softball team. [4] [5]

Coaching career

Assistant coach (1981–1985)

After graduating from Seton Hall in 1981, Mangina became an assistant coach at Wagner College in Staten Island for a season before returning to Seton Hall as an assistant coach under her former coach Sue Regan. After serving as recruiting coordinator at Seton Hall from 1982 to 1985, Seton Hall promoted Mangina to head coach after Regan became associate athletic director. [6]

Seton Hall (1985–2010)

As head coach of Seton Hall from 1985 to 2010, Mangina led Seton Hall to two NCAA tournament appearances (1994 and 1995) and three Women's National Invitation Tournament appearances (2003, 2004, and 2007). The second women's basketball head coach in program history, Mangina has the winningest basketball coaching record at Seton Hall with an overall record of 341–345. She coached three honorable mention All-Americans and 18 All Big East selections. During the 1994–95 season, the Pirates went 24-9 earning the program's second consecutive 20-win season and tournament appearance. The 1994 team spent 10 weeks in the Top 25. [6]

In the 1993–94 season, Seton Hall had its best season ever at 27–5 (16–2, second in the Big East) and finished the year ranked no. 14 in both the AP and USA Today Coaches Polls. [6]

After the 1997–98 season, in which the team finished 8–19, [1] five players, including leading scorer Danielle Golay and starting point guard Christine Koren, decided to transfer. [7] [8]

On March 15, 2010, Mangina resigned from Seton Hall. [9]

Saint Peter's assistant (2012–2018)

In 2012, Mangina returned to coaching as an assistant at Saint Peter's, another Catholic university program in northern New Jersey, under head coach Pat Coyle. [4] Going 19–132 through six seasons, [10] Coyle resigned following the 2017–18 season, and the new head coach did not retain Mangina on staff. [11] [12]
