History
Lehigh first sponsored a varsity women's basketball team for the 1974–75 season, just a few years after the university became coed. The team competed in the East Coast Conference from 1982–83 through the 1989–90 season. Muffet McGraw coached the team from 1982 to 1987 before becoming the head coach at Notre Dame. Lehigh is a charter member of the Patriot League, which began play in women's basketball in the fall of 1990. As of the end of the 2017–18 season, the Mountain Hawks have an all-time record of 571–599. They have won four conference championships in their history, including an East Coast Conference title in 1986 and three Patriot League titles in 1997, 2009 and 2010. They have made five NCAA Tournament appearances in program history and have lost in the first round all four times.{{Cite web|url=http://static.lehighsports.com/custompages/Record%20Books/Women's%20Basketball/WBB%20Record%20Book_thru%202016-17.pdf#_ga=2.97072031.1657473915.1508765841-155026193.1504878397|title=Lehigh Women's Basketball Record Book|website=www.lehighsports.com|access-date=2017-10-30}}
