800 Wins
for Rutgers women's basketball coach C. Vivian Stringer. M.A. Mehta byline in the Star-Ledger:
The victory was the 280th of Stringer's career at Rutgers. It's been her longest stop. She took over a foundering program and turned it into one of the best in the nation with two trips to the Final Four in her first 12 seasons.Doug Feinberg byline for AP:
Stringer got her start in 1973 at Cheyney State, sharing a cramped gym with legendary men's coach John Chaney. She took over a new program and in 12 years there guided the school to the Final Four and won 251 games.

It's possible they lifted the paragraphs out of a Rutgers PR handout. The school also printed up hundreds of "800" cards for fans to wave at the end of the game.
