In 2007, Banghart became the head coach for the Princeton Tigers. Since then, her teams have won five Ivy League outright championships from 2010 through 2015, and, as a result, appeared in five NCAA Women's Division I Tournaments. Her most recent team was one of the 32 remaining teams in the 2015 tournament.[3]

In 2015, the United States Basketball Writers Association named Banghart Coach of the Year.[4] Fortune named her one of the World's 50 Greatest Leaders for "taking charge of a mediocre team that had never made the NCAA Tournament" while ensuring players met Princeton's academic standards.[5]
