McLaughlin Enters Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame

 

As if this season's success on the court wasn't enough, Penn women's basketball coach Mike McLaughlin got some more good news Tuesday night when he was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame.

This past season, McLaughlin's fourth with the Quakers, he guided his team to an 18-13 (9-5 Ivy) record, including the program's first-ever postseason victory.

Under McLaughlin, the Quakers have improved their win total every season. In the season before he took over the program, the Red and Blue had just nine wins.

McLaughlin is the fastest women's basketball coach to reach 400 career wins, and currently has a 451-132 (.774) record during his time as a head coach.

Before coaching at Penn, McLaughlin had an incredibly successful head coaching tenure at Holy Family University, his alma mater. His Holy Family teams posted 25 wins or more in every single one of McLaughlin's 14 seasons at the helm. The Tigers won 10 conference titles under McLaughlin, and he was named Conference Coach of the Year 13 times.
