McDaniel mourns loss of longtime women’s basketball coach Becky Martin

Jun 9, 2021

Becky Martin, a 1980 alumna of McDaniel College and for nearly four decades coach of the Green Terror women's basketball team, died Tuesday, June 8 after a long illness. She was 62. A stand-out student athlete in both volleyball and basketball, Becky took over the reins of the women's basketball program in 1981, just a year after graduating from the college, and was a staple on the Green Terror sidelines for 37 seasons prior to her medical leave in 2018. With her career 554-369 record, she is the winningest coach in Centennial Conference history.

Golden Reunion Weekend

Reunions are a time to reminisce and reconnect with those who impacted your time on the Hill. Each spring, Golden Reunion Weekend is a celebration of our classes 50+ years out.

Despite progress being made to distribute the COVID-19 vaccine both here in Maryland and nationally, our Return to the Hill committee, in consultation with the Carroll County Health Department, has advised that certain in-person events pose more risk, and restrictions on most gatherings will need to continue throughout McDaniel’s spring semester. Reunion events were among those identified as being high-risk and therefore will not be able to take place. We are hopeful that we will be able to gather in person to celebrate in the fall 2021.

Information will be shared this summer regarding a fall 2021 event.
