As of March 11, 2025

The 2024–25 Sacred Heart Pioneers women's basketball team represents Sacred Heart University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Pioneers, led by 12th-year head coach Jessica Mannetti, play their home games at the William H. Pitt Center in Fairfield, Connecticut as first-year members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

Previous season

The Pioneers finished the 2023–24 season 24–10, 15–1 in NEC play, to finish as NEC regular-season champions.[1] They defeated Saint Francis,[2] Merrimack,[3] and Le Moyne to win the NEC tournament championship for the second year in a row, and in turn, earned the NEC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament.[4] They received the #16 seed in the Albany Regional 1,[5] where they would be defeated by Presbyterian in the First Four.[6]

This would be the last season for Sacred Heart as members of the Northeast Conference, as they joined the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for the 2024–25 season.[7]
