History

The Big Red have played at a varsity level since 1971, though Cornell had women play in class competitions before then. They started playing in the Ivy League in 1974. The Big Red played in only 7 games for the 1976–77 season due to being snowed in for days before the opener and a bus accident three weeks later that injured many of the players, which cancelled the season. Cornell has just one conference title (2008), winning a playoff with Dartmouth 64–47 to break the three way tie (Harvard being the other time) and winning the bid to the NCAA Tournament. [3] [4] [5]
