Tennessee Lady Volunteers Women’s Basketball History
The University of Tennessee Lady Volunteers, or “Lady Vols,” hold one of the greatest legacies in women’s college basketball, winning eight NCAA titles and appearing in every Women’s March Madness tournament since its inception in 1982. Naismith Coach of the Century Pat Summitt led the Lady Vols from 1974 to 2012 and won multiple championships in each of her three decades with the team. Summitt never posted a losing season record and retired with a then-record 1,098 career wins. The program counts Candace Parker, Tamika Catchings, Kara Lawson and Chamique Holdsclaw among its distinguished alumni. The Lady Vols earned back-to-back Sweet Sixteen appearances in 2022 and 2023 and returned to the round during their 2025 run.
