Biography
The 2010-11 women's basketball team, led by head coach Mike Morris and his staff, entered the season on a mission. After falling just short of reaching the program's first NCAA Tournament appearance the previous season, the Bulldogs entered the SoCon Tournament with something to prove. After a first-round win over Western Carolina, the team took on the host school, Chattanooga, earning a dramatic, 68-66 overtime win over the Mocs. In the championship game against Appalachian State, a late comeback lifted the Bulldogs to a 57-54 win, the school's first SoCon Tournament title and first NCAA Tournament bid. The team then traveled to Auburn to take on Florida State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The 2010-11 women's basketball team set a school record for wins with 25, and the roster included two of the top three scorers in program history (Emily London and Savannah Hill).
