History

Quinnipiac began play in Division I in 1998. They joined the Northeast Conference in 1999, playing until 2013, when they joined the MAAC. They have made the NCAA Tournament in 2013, 2015, and 2017. They made the Sweet Sixteen in the latter year by garnering their first ever Tournament win along with the furthest they have ever made in the NCAA Tournament. This was the first time since 2007 (Marist) that a MAAC team had made the Sweet Sixteen. They have made the WNIT in 2008, 2012, 2014, and 2016. Since joining Division I, the Bobcats (as of the end of the 2015–16 season) have a record of 335–207. [2]
