The 2013-14 MSUB women's basketball team still ranks as one of the most successful groups in both the department and program's histories to this day. With a team consisting of 15 players, all of whom were from Montana, the squad finished the year with an overall record of 25-8, along with a 15-3 in GNAC play to collect the department's first ever GNAC Championship after taking the regular season title. In postseason action, the Yellowjackets would advance on to the Sweet Sixteen and West Regional Championship of the NCAA Tournament. The team set a number of program records at the time, including total wins (28), conference wins (15), total points (2,426), three-pointers made (258), rebounds (1283), all records that remain top five in program history today. The team also put together one of the most impressive season full of individual accolades in school history, with Bobbi Knudsen being named GNAC Player of the Year, Janiel Olson receiving GNAC Defensive Player of the Year, Chelsea Banis earning GNAC Newcomer of the Year, andÂ
Kevin Woodin receiving his first of four GNAC Coach of the Year awards. Knudsen was also named a member of the West Region All-Tournament Team, joiningÂ
Alisha Breen in receiving the honor. The program was also incredibly successful off the court, totaling a 3.66 team GPA to finish with the 6th highest GPA in the WBCA Academic Top 25 for that season.
