The 1967-68 women’s basketball team forged an undefeated 12-0 record and won the South Eastern Regional Athletic Association postseason tournament, becoming the first women’s team at the College to do so. The Colts were coached by Hall of Famer Mary B. Diana (inducted into the Colt Athletic Hall of Fame as part of its inaugural class in 2012). Many of the team’s players also competed in softball and/or volleyball, with some going on to careers in education and athletics. The roster included: Joanne Collins, Kathryn Williams Fay, Doris Gallose, Janice Hart, Susan Herring, Kathleen Leahy, Debra Sitzman Lehman, Paulette MacArthur Judd, Vicky Marquart, Mary Marshall, Beth McCabe, Trish Rawson, Linda Schoonmaker, Barbara Startup, Annette Cuffe (team manager), Mary Diana (coach), and Peg Williams (assistant coach).

Among the team’s victories that season included the 37-29 win over Dutchess to secure the SERAA title, as well as a pair of victories over Mount Saint Mary College (31-28 and 33-32).
