Saint Francis University Athletics

During eight seasons as head coach of the Saint Francis women’s basketball team, Jenny Przekwas turned a struggling women’s basketball team into one of the most storied Division I small-school programs in the nation.

She inherited a Red Flash program that won 155 games in 23 seasons of existence, but left as the school’s all-time winningest coach with a 133-99 career record from 1991-99. Przekwas helped guide the Red Flash to their first four Northeast Conference championships and NCAA Tournament appearances, and was twice named the Northeast Conference Coach-of-the-Year.

She compiled an amazing 99-50 record in her last five seasons, the final four ending in conference titles. Przekwas’ foundation for success continued into the 2000s as Saint Francis has gone on to win a Northeast Conference record 11 league titles (as of the 2009-10 season).

Saint Francis University is proud to honor Jenny Przekwas with induction into the Athletics Hall of Fame on this date, Saturday, February 5, 2011.
