The William & Mary Tribe women’s basketball team competes in the Coastal Athletic Association. William & Mary began play in 1919, with Division I play beginning in 1984. They have made the postseason just once, with an appearance in the 2015 WBI. Their only conference tournament final appearance to date was in the 1993 CAA final, which they lost to perennial power Old Dominion. The 2014–15 season was their most successful in many years and resulted in a bid to the 2015 Women’s Basketball Invitational.
