Billie Moore, the history-making women's basketball coach that won national championships with two different schools, died  Wednesday from cancer, UCLA announced. She was 79.

The university reports that she passed away at her Fullerton, California, home surrounded by friends and family following a "lengthy battle with multiple myeloma."

Moore was the first women's basketball coach to lead two different schools to national titles: Cal State Fullerton in 1970, and UCLA in 1978.  She also served as the head coach for the first ever U.S. women's Olympic basketball team, which took the silver medal at the 1976 Montreal Olympic Games.
