About Women’s Basketball
We have a strong history of successful women’s basketball under longtime head coach Connie Tilley. We 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).
Our home games are on campus at Schuldes Sports Center, which opened in 1979. St. Norbert hosted the 1985 NCAA Division III Final Four at Schuldes Sports Center. The Green Knights previously played at Van Dyke Gym, which is still in existence in the Van Den Heuvel Family Campus Center.
