Bethune Cookman kvinder

The Wildcats played women's basketball in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference starting in the 1980s. They reached the MEAC women's basketball tournament final for the first time in 1983, losing to South Carolina State. They got their revenge the following year for their first MEAC title. At the time, however, the MEAC winner did not go to the NCAA Tournament. They lost in the MEAC final in 1992. In 2016 and 2017, they won the regular season MEAC title but lost in the MEAC tournament, with the latter being a loss to Hampton in the final. Their regular season titles meant that they were invited into the Women's National Invitation Tournament, with the 2016 one being their first ever postseason appearance. They lost the MEAC tournament in 2018 but had a respectable record that saw them reach the WNIT again. Finally, Bethune–Cookman won the 2019 MEAC tournament over Norfolk State. The 2019 appearance in the NCAA tournament was their first ever NCAA Division I basketball tournament appearance for the school. In the 2021-22 athletic season, Bethune–Cookman joined the Southwestern Athletic Conference.
