Women's Basketball

Dr. Sharon R. Beverly coached the Fairleigh Dickinson University women’s basketball team from 1988-1999. Her 126 wins ranks first all-time among the programs head coaches and she is still the only FDU women’s basketball coach to lead the Knights to multiple Northeast Conference Tournament Titles, as well as a conference regular season championship.

Under Coach Beverly, the Knights captured their first-ever NEC Tournament Title during the 1989-90 season. She is the only coach in program history to guide the Knights to a 20-win season at the Division I level when the Dr. Beverly directed the team to a 23-6 overall record during the 1991-92 campaign en route to the program’s second NEC Tournament Championship.

During the 1992-93 campaign, the Knights captured their first and only share of the NEC regular season crown. Six of the eight women’s basketball players inducted into the FDU Hall of Fame are Coach Beverly products and she has coached more female Hall of Famers than any other coach in FDU history. Dr. Beverly has represented FDU nationally in 1994 when she was selected as an Assistant Coach on the U.S. Olympic Festival North Team.
