It's a monumental week for Rutgers University and celebrated coach, C. Vivian Stringer. Stringer is the fifth women's head coach to reach the 1,000 win mark. The women's basketball veteran sat for a video interview with The Players' Tribune, leading up to the milestone.

Soccer star and Rutgers grad, Carli Lloyd was among those sending congrats to Stringer on Tuesday's accomplishment:

And, Governor Murphy was there to help celebrate the moment, as recapped on Twitter:

There were also well-wishes shared by the NCAAIowa Women's Basketball and Hillary Clinton, among others.

As part of the celebration, there's a 'CVS1k Campaign' working to fund an endowed student-athlete scholarship for future women's basketball Scarlet Knights.
