Morgan State College has named Nadine Domond as its new head coach for ladies’s basketball, launching a brand new chapter in ladies’s basketball on the HBCU, one with deep historic ties. Domond arrives with an elite résumé—and a connection to the one HBCU ladies’s group to ever play within the NCAA Division I Ultimate 4: the 1982 Cheyney State Girl Wolves.
That group was led by legendary coach C. Vivian Stringer, who helped redefine what was attainable for HBCU packages. Domond performed for Stringer at Iowa and coached alongside her at Rutgers, crediting her with laying the inspiration for her teaching values.
Working with a Legend
“I performed for Coach Stringer. Labored for her. Gained along with her,” Domond mentioned throughout her introduction. “She confirmed me what it seems to be like. That blueprint is my basis.”
Morgan State College President Dr. David Wilson emphasised the symbolism of this rent, connecting Domond’s teaching roots to HBCU greatness.
“Why can’t Morgan State dream like that?” Wilson requested. “Cheyney did it with Coach Stringer. Now we’ve obtained somebody from that tree to guide our personal program.”
Domond has coached at each degree—from Rutgers to Grambling State to the WNBA—and most just lately turned Virginia State right into a title contender. In 2025, she led the Trojans to a 21-5 document, a CIAA Northern Division crown, and their first-ever NCAA Division II Event berth. Her management earned her CIAA Coach of the 12 months and HBCU All-Stars Lonnie Bartley Nationwide Coach of the 12 months honors.
Her teaching id is constructed on self-discipline, protection, and unity. “That is going to be a faith-based group,” Domond mentioned. “We’re going to be sisters. We’re going to be accountable. And we’re going to win—on and off the courtroom.”
As Domond walked to the rostrum, the voice of Morgan State Athletics, Lamont Germany, welcomed her with a transparent and assured declaration:
“We obtained one.” Now coming into its fortieth season as a Division I program, Morgan State ladies’s basketball isn’t simply chasing success—it’s investing in legacy.
