The finest season in the history of the Southern Connecticut State University women’s basketball program came in 2006-07 and was capped by the Owls’ first-ever NCAA Division II title.
The squad set a single-season record for victories (34-2) and claimed the Northeast-10 Conference regular season and tournament titles before heading into NCAA Tournament action. The Owls hosted the NCAA Regional at Moore Field House and dispatched of New Haven, Holy Family and Bentley to advance to the Elite Eight in Kearney, Neb. SCSU defeated Drury by 20 points and followed with a 14-point win over UC-San Diego to earn a spot in the national title game against an undefeated Florida Gulf Coast squad.
In that final game, four Owls – including current head coach Kate Lynch – scored in double figures and the SCSU defense held FGCU to just 31-percent shooting en route to a 61-45 win and the national championship. The team was also previously selected for induction into the Northeast-10 Conference Hall of Fame, Class of 2016.
