"Tricia Fabbri wasn't sure she made the right decision. In fact, the Delran native thought she might have made a giant mistake when she became the women's basketball coach at Quinnipiac University in 1995.... The 1987 Delran High School graduate has created a solid program that is having its most successful year ever."
