[1][a] At the time of her retirement, she was the longest-tenured women's head coach at a single school in NCAA Division I.

She attended Sacred Heart High School and became the first female in Massachusetts basketball history to score 1000 points.

[3] She attended college at Bridgewater State, which, at the time, did not have a varsity basketball team for women.

During the winning streak, her players started calling her the "Wizard of Westwood", borrowing the nickname of UCLA coaching legend John Wooden.

While at Westwood, she filed multiple Title IX lawsuits to help ensure that the players had sufficient resources, and also pushed the school to schedule girls' games at night to allow parents and recruiters to watch.

The team had changed from street clothes into uniforms in the locker room at their own school and then traveled to the game.

[6] In her time at Westwood, Delaney-Smith coached seven Boston Globe All-Scholastic selections, and saw many of her players continue their careers in college.

[7] The transition to the college game mirrored, in some ways, her start as a high school coach.

However, until 2017, the Ivy League did not operate a conference tournament, instead awarding its automatic bid to the regular-season champion.

[8] In 1997, they again won the Ivy League, going 14–0 for their first-ever undefeated conference season[9] and an invitation to the NCAA tournament, where they faced top-seeded North Carolina and lost.

However, Stanford would be playing without two of their best players—Vanessa Nygaard, who tore an ACL in the Cardinal's final Pac-10 Conference game, and Kristin Folkl, who suffered the same injury shortly after in a practice.

[10] Feaster delivered, scoring 35 points, but it was a teammate, Susie Miller, who hit a three-pointer late in the game to secure the win, representing the first, and still the only time a 16 seed has beaten a one seed in an NCAA women's tournament game.
