Greensboro College Pride

The 1996-1997 women's basketball team became the first women's basketball team at Greensboro to earn an NCAA berth and only the second to win the DIAC tournament.  They finished their season with a 19-9 overall record, 8-4 in DIAC play.  It was the first winning season that Greensboro had posted since the 1991-1992 season when they finished 17-10, 7-3, just one year removed from their first DIAC Tournament Championship.  The team was coached by Steve Johnson.

Greensboro outscored their opponents 1726-1603 that season, averaging 63.9 points per game.  Statistically, the team was led by Deborah Meisenbach in points (385), Tina Lineberry in steals and rebounds (67-286), and Shannon Curtis in blocks (10).
