For the second time in Dickinson's history the women's basketball team recorded 22 wins in a season, earning its second bid to the NCAA Division III Tournament. Dickinson advanced to the Centennial Conference (CC) Championship game for the second time in three seasons, falling to Ursinus 61-55 in overtime on Feb. 25.

Senior center Ally Teatom and classmate Jess Howard were named to the All-CC team, along with Laura Houseal '08. Teatom earned her fourth All-CC honor and her second selection to the first team. Howard was named to the second team while Houseal made her second appearance as honorable mention.

The Red Devils traveled to the University of Mary Washington in Fredericksburg, Va., to face Christopher Newport University in the first round of the NCAA playoffs. The teams battled to a 23-23 tie at halftime and traded leads at the start of the second half. Christopher Newport steadily pulled ahead for a seven-point lead, and even though the Devils fought back, they fell to the Captains 52-49.

The Red Devils end another remarkable season with a 15-4 record in the CC and an overall record of 22-6.
