Dartmouth has extended women’s basketball coach Linda Cimino’s contract, backing a program that has improved its win total in each of her seasons. The extension was announced after the Big Green opened the 2025-26 season with a 56-49 win over Boston University.

By the Numbers
  • Dartmouth improved from 2 wins in 2022-23 to 7 in Cimino’s first season.
  • The team had its best start through 10 games since 1989-90 in 2025-26.
  • At Binghamton, Cimino’s teams went from 4 wins in her first season to 20 in her last.
State of Play
  • Cimino took over in May 2023 after five seasons at St. Francis Brooklyn.
  • Dartmouth says it is investing in the program’s continued growth and development.
Bottom Line

The extension gives Cimino continued backing as Dartmouth builds on steady progress and looks to turn improvement into sustained success.
