Wikipedia - Cal Poly Mustangs women's basketball
The Cal Poly Mustangs women's basketball team represents California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo, located in San Luis Obispo, California. The school's team currently competes in the Big West Conference, which they have played in since 1996, two years after joining Division I. The team plays its home games in Mott Athletics Center.
History
Cal Poly began playing women's basketball at the intercollegiate level in 1974 in the AIAW, with NCAA-sponsored play beginning in 1981.
The Mustangs have had three teams tie for the school record for wins (21) in a season: the 1981–82 squad coached by Marilyn McNeil and the 2008–09 and 2012–13 squads coached by Faith Mimnaugh.
Following Sharon Chatman (1974–75) and Mary Stallard (1975–79), McNeil coached Cal Poly from 1979 to 1986 before becoming an athletics administrator on campus. In 1994, McNeil departed Cal Poly to become the athletic director at Monmouth University, from which she retired in 2021. Taking over after Jill Orrock (1986–95) and Karen Booker (1995–97), Mimnaugh served as head coach from 1997 to 2022. Shanele Stires, former WNBA player and head coach at Cal State East Bay, was hired as the team's seventh head coach on April 14, 2022.
The furthest the team has advanced came in March 2013, when Cal Poly defeated Pacific 63–49 to win the Big West Conference women's basketball tournament, their first conference tournament championship after two previous years of regular-season titles. Seeded 14th in their ensuing NCAA Tournament appearance, they lost 85-55 to Penn State in the first round. Cal Poly qualified for the semifinal round of the Big West Tournament in March 2020, but the postseason was abruptly canceled due to COVID-19 after the Mustangs had won comfortably twice in the tournament's earlier rounds.
The team has made four WNIT appearances, losing to California (Berkeley) in 2011, Washington in 2012, San Diego in 2014, and Pacific in 2024.
La squadra è stata fondata nel 1970 e ha fatto la sua prima apparizione nel torneo NCAA nel 1991. Da allora, ha partecipato al torneo NCAA altre 10 volte, raggiungendo le Sweet Sixteen nel 2007 e le Elite Eight nel 2010.
Il team di basket femminile della Cal Poly SLO è allenato da Faith Mimnaugh, che è entrata a far parte della squadra nel 2012. Mimnaugh ha guidato i Mustangs a tre campionati Big West consecutivi dal 2018 al 2020 e a quattro apparizioni consecutive nel torneo NCAA.
Le Mustangs sono note per il loro gioco veloce e intenso, e sono una delle squadre più divertenti da guardare nel basket femminile universitario. Sono guidate da un gruppo di giovani giocatrici di talento, guidate dalla guardia senior Dynn Hannibal e dall'attaccante senior Alimamy Diallo.
Il team di basket femminile della Cal Poly SLO è una parte importante della comunità di San Luis Obispo. La squadra ha una forte base di fan e le sue partite casalinghe sono sempre sold out. Le Mustangs sono un modello per i giovani atleti e sono una fonte di orgoglio per l'università.
