MAGGIE DIXON All-Met Women's Division I Coach of the Year namesake
A native of North Hollywood, Calif., Dixon graduated in 1999 from the University of San Diego. She was an assistant coach at DePaul before coming to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point as head coach. She died on April 6, 2006, at age 28, following an arrhythmia heart episode.
In her one season (2005-06) at Army, Dixon guided the Black Knights to a 20-11 record, the team's first 20-win season since 1990-91; the first Patriot League Conference tournament championship; and the school's first berth in the NCAA Women's Tournament.
Dixon had a dynamic and emotional effect on West Point and the world of women's college basketball in such a short time. She had a positive impact on everyone she came into contact with.
