MIAMI - Florida International coach Cindy Russo won her 600th career game on Saturday to become the 16th Division I women's basketball coach to reach the plateau.
Russo's Golden Panthers (7-3) rallied from a 15-point deficit to beat Central Connecticut 73-51.
In her 30th season as a coach, Russo is 600-255 - 560-233 in her 28 years at FIU. She was 40-22 in two years at Lamar, 1978-80.
