About Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College Basketball

When you step onto the Saint Mary-of-the-Woods campus in Indiana, you're walking through a place where women's basketball has been played since the early days of collegiate athletics. The program carries that legacy—built on resilience, community, and the kind of basketball that values fundamentals over flash. Head Coach Michael Hunter has cultivated a program within the River States Conference that reflects the school's Catholic values and commitment to developing complete student- athletes, both on the court and in the classroom. The Pomeroy basketball tradition runs deep here. Players who come through this program learn what it means to compete against quality opposition in a conference that rewards discipline and execution. You'll find a coaching staff invested in your growth as a person first, a player second—the kind of environment where individual development matters as much as winning games. The team plays a brand of basketball rooted in ball movement, defensive intensity, and accountability. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods attracts student-athletes who want to play college basketball without sacrificing their education or their values. The River States Conference offers consistent competition and an atmosphere where every game means something. This is a program where your hard work gets noticed, where coaching feedback drives improvement, and where being part of something meaningful extends far beyond the final buzzer.
