About Women’s Basketball

St. Norbert has a strong history of successful women’s basketball under longtime head coach Connie Tilley. The Green Knights joined the Midwest Conference in 1983, winning a league championship in our first season of competition in 1983-84. Previously, we competed in the Wisconsin Independent Colleges-Women’s Athletic Conference (WIC-WAC).

Home games are on campus at Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center, which opened in 1979. St. Norbert hosted the 1985 NCAA Division III Final Four at Mulva Family Fitness & Sports Center. The Green Knights previously played at Van Dyke Gym, which is still in existence in the Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center.
