Wikipedia - James Madison Dukes women's basketball
The James Madison Dukes women's basketball team is the basketball team that represents James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, United States. The school's team currently competes in the Sun Belt Conference after previously playing in the Colonial Athletic Association (CAA). The Dukes are led by fifth-year head coach Sean O'Regan.
The Dukes have appeared in the NCAA Division I Tournament thirteen times, most recently in 2023. Including Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT) berths, the Dukes have played in a post-season tournament each season since 2006.
History
James Madison's women's basketball program is among the oldest in the nation, being founded in 1920. The program's first coach, Althea Loose Johnston, coached the team to a 106-33-5 record during her 22 year career. Through the end of the 2022–23 season, the Dukes have compiled a record of 1200-585 (.672), the fourth most wins among all Division I programs and only one of four with over 1,200 wins.
In the 1986 and 1991 NCAA women's tournaments, they upset the #1 seed (Virginia in the former and Penn State in the latter) while ranked #8 (the lowest seed at the time), being the first team to ever do that on the women's side (the size of the tournament for the former was 40 while the latter had 48 teams). They are one of only three schools to upset a #1 seed while ranked as the lowest seed (the other being Southwest Missouri State in 1992 and Harvard in 1998). They have made the NCAA Tournament in 1986, 1987, 1988, 1989, 1991, 1996, 2007, 2010, 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2023. They have made the WNIT in 2001, 2006, 2008, 2009, 2012, 2013, 2017, 2018, and 2019, finishing as runner-up in 2012.
De Dames werden opgericht in 1975 en hebben sindsdien 12 keer aan het NCAA-toernooi deelgenomen. Ze wonnen het CAA-toernooi in 2016 en bereikten de tweede ronde van het NCAA-toernooi.
Het team wordt momenteel gecoacht door Sean O'Regan. Hij is sinds 2002 hoofdcoach van de Dames en heeft een record van 326-200.
Enkele van de meest opvallende spelers van de Dames zijn:
* Tamera Young: Young was een tweevoudig CAA Player of the Year en speelde in de WNBA voor de Atlanta Dream en de Los Angeles Sparks.
* Nikki McCray: McCray was een All-American en speelde in de WNBA voor de San Antonio Silver Stars en de Washington Mystics.
* Kirby Burkholder: Burkholder was een All-American en speelde in de WNBA voor de Seattle Storm en de Washington Mystics.
De Dames zijn een van de meest succesvolle teams in de CAA en zijn een vaste waarde in het NCAA-toernooi. Ze staan bekend om hun snelle tempo en hun sterke verdediging.
