Mary Beth McNichol is preparing for her sixth season as the head women’s basketball coach at Division III Neumann University in Aston, PA. Prior to taking over the Knights, McNichol enjoyed a 27-year run as the head girls' basketball coach at the Academy of Notre Dame in Villanova, PA, where she won 507 games.

In Episode #186 of “1-on-1 with Matt Leon,” Matt talks with McNichol about her life in hoops. They look back at her playing career as a standout at Villanova (where she was the first female student-athlete in program history to receive a full scholarship). They also discuss how she got into coaching, the road that brought her to Neumann and much more.
