Women's basketball team
The 2023–24 Drexel Dragons women's basketball team represented Drexel University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Dragons, led by fourth-year head coach Amy Mallon, played their home games at the Daskalakis Athletic Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania as members of the Coastal Athletic Association (formerly known as the Colonial Athletic Association through the 2022–23 season).
Previous season
The Dragons finished the 2022–23 season 21–10, 13–5 in CAA play to finish in tied for first place. They lost to Monmouth in the CAA tournament quarterfinals.[1] As conference regular season co-champions, the team earned an automatic bid to the 2023 Women's National Invitation Tournament, where they were defeated by Fordham in the first round.
