History

[edit]

Missouri first fielded a women's team during the 1974–1975 season. The team's best post-season result was appearing in the Sweet Sixteen (1982 and 2001).

Head coaches

[edit]

Conferences

[edit]

Missouri has played in the Big 8 and the Big 12 conferences. The Tigers joined the Big 12 in 1997 when the Big 8 merged with several former members of the defunct Southwest Conference. Since 2012, the team has played in the Southeastern Conference after leaving the Big 12 Conference.

Coaches

[edit]

The current head coach is Robin Pingeton, who was hired in April 2010 to replace former head coach Cindy Stein. Stein resigned effective the end of the 2010 season under pressure from fans, media, and the administration.[citation needed] Pingeton was the coach at Illinois State University.
