For First Time in D-I History, A Father-Daughter Coaching Matchup is Set

For the first time time in Division I history, it is believed that a father and daughter will coach opposite each other this Saturday when Army's women's basketball team hosts Holy Cross.

The Black Knights, led by coach Dave Magarity, will face the Crusaders, who are led by his daughter, Maureen.

“It’s going to be surreal,” Dave Magarity, 70, told the Associated Press. “What’s unique about it—it goes without saying that not only is it possibly the first time it’s happened, but we’re in the same league. It’s one thing if we were playing in a tournament or it would have been nice to play in the NCAA Tournament or NIT.
