History

The University of Dayton first sponsored women's basketball in 1968 playing in the NCAA's Division II until 1984.

During their tenure in Division II the team won the AIAW National Championship in 1980, was the national runner-up in 1979, as well as winning the 1982 AIAW Midwest Regional Championship, advancing to the NCAA Division II Final Four in 1984, and winning the OAISW State Championship in 1977.

The team then joined the North Star conference in 1984 until moving to the Midwestern Collegiate Conference in 1988 to 1993. Then in 1995 they moved to the Atlantic 10 Conference where they still reside.

During their time in the Atlantic 10 Conference the team has made 7 NCAA Tournament appearances and 4 NIT appearances.
