History
editThe Catamounts went undefeated in the regular season in back-to-back seasons in the 1991–92 and 1992–93 seasons, the first time a women's basketball program did that in the NCAA era. Only Connecticut has done that feat since Vermont did it. They have won the conference title six times, second only to Maine.[3][4]
