The 2025 NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament saw the Patriots earning their first-ever NCAA Tournament berth and their first Atlantic 10 championship. Blair-Lewis likens the process of building a successful basketball team to baking a cake, emphasizing the importance of mixing all the right ingredients together. This season, the team made significant additions, including guard Anovia Sheals, who was a top scorer and rebounder at Austin Peay, and Tia Dobson, a versatile player previously with UNC Wilmington.",
