Women's Basketball History

Historical information covers what is considered to be the “Modern Era” of Daemen Basketball, beginning with the program’s first season as a member of the NAIA (1986-87). Unfortunately, accurate information such as rosters, schedules and statistics from before that time have been hard to come by.
