History

Starting on October 28, 1988, the Dinos enjoyed a superlative 69-game winning streak. Coming to an end on March 10, 1990, the stretch was highlighted by an undefeated 1988-89 season, which saw the program capture the Bronze Baby trophy. During the 1990-91 season, Jodi Evans led Canada West in points, assists, and rebounds, [2] earning the Nan Copp Award for her efforts.

On February 11, 2012, which was also Senior Night for the Dinos, fifth-year player Jenna Kaye became the first player in program history to achieve a triple-double. Versus the Winnipeg Wesmen, Kaye recorded 10 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists in an 88-62 victory. [3]

In celebration of the centennial anniversary of U SPORTS women’s basketball, a committee of U SPORTS women’s basketball coaches and partners revealed a list of the Top 100 women's basketball players. Commemorating the 100th anniversary of the first Canadian university women’s contest between the Queen’s Gaels and McGill Martlets on Feb. 6, 1920, the list of the Top 100 was gradually revealed over four weeks. [12] The list would feature 7 Dinos alumnae.
