The Charleston Cougars women's basketball team represent the College of Charleston in the Coastal Athletic Association of NCAA Division I women's college basketball. They are led by head coach Robin Harmony, who is in her seventh season. [2]

History

The College of Charleston women Maroons were first formed in 1919. [3] Pierrine Smith Byrd, who would become the College's first female graduate in 1922, was the team's first captain. Under head coach Nancy Wilson, the Cougars appeared in the AIAW National Division II Championship Game three times from 1980 to 1982. [4] [5]

The Cougars moved up to NCAA Division I and joined the Trans America Athletic Conference (now known as the ASUN Conference) in 1991. They joined the Southern Conference in 1998, and later joined the Coastal Athletic Association in 2013.

The team has made three separate appearances in the Women's Basketball Invitational, in 2010 under head coach Nancy Wilson, and again in 2013 and 2014, under head coach Natasha Adair. Since current-head coach Robin Harmony was hired in 2019, the Cougars have appeared in the Women's National Invitation Tournament twice, and made their first NCAA Tournament appearance in 2026, after winning the CAA Tournament for the first time. [6] [7]

Coaches

The Cougars have had eight head coaches since their first season in 1974. The current coach was hired in 2019.
