NEW YORK — Meg Barber, currently the head coach of the NYU Violets, was a player on the team when Washington University of St. Louis was closing in on the Division III winning streak record. Now, as coach, Barber has led the Violets to a point where they are on the verge of surpassing that same record.
Under Barber’s leadership, the team has maintained a strong performance, positioning NYU to potentially set a new benchmark in Division III athletics. The Violets’ success reflects consistent effort and effective coaching strategies.
**Why this matters:**
Breaking or nearing a longstanding winning streak record highlights the strength and competitiveness of a Division III program. It also underscores the impact of leadership continuity, as Barber’s experience as a former player contributes to her current coaching success. Such achievements bring attention to smaller collegiate sports programs and can inspire future athletes.
