Byrne is the author of O God of Players, the definitive history of the team that won the 1972, 1973, and 1974 collegiate women's basketball championships. According to Yale historian Jon Butler, her book "recaptures the lost world of Catholic women's basketball between 1940 and 1975 where faith, sweat, and even innocence triumphed as America and Catholicism changed uneasily and irrevocably." Byrne holds the Monsignor Thomas J. Hartman Chair in Catholic Studies at Hofstra University. The title of her talk will be “O God of Players: Ten Years Later.”

Cheryl Burnett coached the Lady Bears from 1987 to 2002, including two NCAA Final Four appearances. As a college basketball player at the University of Kansas, she faced Immaculata on their home court. Burnett currently serves as Missouri State University's Director of Development.
