Linda Cimino was the last women’s basketball coach at Brooklyn’s St. Francis College.
The Terriers dropped their intercollegiate athletic program at the conclusion of the 2023 spring semester.
In May, Cimino was named women’s basketball coach at Dartmouth College. She comes to the Hanover, New Hampshire campus after a successful five-year run with the Terriers.
During the 2018-19 season, her first with the Terriers, she led the team to a historic finish with 12 conference victories — a program record at the time. Her 2021-22 team topped that feat with a 13-3 conference mark and upended Michigan State during non-conference action for the program’s first-ever win over a Power Five opponent.
St. Francis Brooklyn has produced four winning conference records in the program’s 50-year history, and Cimino was at the helm for three of those campaigns.
A 2001 Adelphi University graduate, Cimino began her collegiate career in 2001 at Queensborough Community College, where she spent one year.
She played collegiately at Adelphi under current Michigan head coach Kim Barnes Arico. A native of Lincoln, Rhode Island, Cimino was inducted into the Rhode Island Interscholastic League Hall of Fame in 2019.
