No, not right in this context, although I do understand what you mean. "When they were both assigned to the same department", perhaps?

Hi Maj,
Guest has mentioned 1 possibility, however there is another where 'coincided' is still incorrect but close.
If they met in the same department, such as when they were both shopping, and they happened upon each other in the fashion department.
Then it could read:
'She felt terribly uncomfortable when they coincidently met in the same department.'
