The Maryville Saints women's basketball program has a storied history of success and steady growth. Since joining the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) in 2012, after a standout run in the St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SLIAC), the team has consistently competed at a high level. Notably, they claimed the GLVC Tournament championship in 2012 and reached the GLVC finals in 2013, building a legacy of competitive excellence. Before the move to GLVC, the Saints posted an impressive 92 consecutive conference wins in the SLIAC, underscoring a sustained culture of winning. Under head coach Brita Hand, appointed in 2022, the program has continued to push for regional dominance, leveraging Head Coach Hand’s experience at Briar Cliff to drive strong seasons and player development.
