Hall of Fame Inductees
Tina Sloan Green was Lincoln's first ever women's basketball coach, leading the squad from 1971-1975. She also started a women's lacrosse program in 1971, the first women’s lacrosse program ever at an HBCU. A 1966 graduate of West Chester State College, Sloan joined Lincoln as an instructor of physical education in 1970. She quickly became involved with the athletics programs, serving as an assistant coach for the women's tennis and women's volleyball programs before becoming head women's basketball coach. Although those first women’s basketball team’s did not win many games, coach Sloan-Green’s leadership helped set the foundations for the program’s continuity and success in ensuing seasons. While coaching at Lincoln, Sloan Green was a member of the United States national field hockey team, the first African-American to play on the team. She went on to coach the Temple University women's lacrosse team from 1975-1992 winning three national championships. Sloan Green has been inducted into the US National Lacrosse Hall of Fame (1997), the International Women's Sports Hall of Fame (1999); the Philadelphia Sports Hall of Fame (2013); and the IWLCA Hall of Fame (2017).
