Monmouth University Women's Basketball Schedule 2023-2024: What To Know
The Monmouth women’s basketball team had a memorable debut in the CAA, and the Hawks appear to be improving. Here’s a look at their 2023-2024 schedule.
The 2023-2024 basketball season is just getting underway, but the Monmouth Hawks aren’t wasting any time—they’ve already announced three national letters of intent for the next season.
Big things are happening in New Jersey since the Hawks’ inaugural campaign in the Coastal Athletic Association concluded with the title at the 2023 CAA Women’s Basketball Championship as the No. 7 seed. It was the program’s first conference title since the mid-1980s.
Monmouth was the first No. 7 seed in history to win the event, a feat that included beating the top three seeds along the way. The victory earned the Hawks the CAA’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament, which marked their first appearance since 1983.

Though Monmouth lost to Tennessee Tech in the First Four and didn’t make the main 64-team bracket, getting that far helped the Monmouth stock rise. After being picked to finish 10th in the conference last season, the Hawks now are slated to finish sixth this year, per the 2023-2024 CAA Women’s Basketball Preseason Poll.
Monmouth finished last season with an 18-16 overall record, which included a 9-9 effort in conference play. That’s a noteworthy turnaround for head coach Ginny Boggess, who took over after the team’s 2-16 performance during the 2020-2021 season and helped the Hawks to a 14-16 mark the following year, before raising the bar again last season.
Not long after Monmouth’s postseason success in 2023, the roster started growing and the support staff was solidified.
Three transfers and an incoming freshman were announced in May. A new assistant coach was announced in June. Boggess signed a five-year contract extension in July. A new director of program operations was brought in during September.
Of the returning Monmouth players, senior guard Ariana Vanderhoop landed among the All-CAA preseason honorable mentions. She averaged 10.5 points and 5.3 rebounds per game during her junior season.
Vanderhoop is one of seven players, including three starters, back from last year’s championship team. Also returning is senior center Belle Kranbuhl, who led the team in blocks with 64.
Here’s a look at the Monmouth University women’s basketball schedule for the 2023-2024 season.
