# 2024–25 Merrimack Warriors women's basketball team

The 2024–25 Merrimack Warriors women's basketball team represents Merrimack College during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Warriors, led by fifth-year head coach Kelly Morrone, play their home games at Hammel Court, with some games at Lawler Arena, in North Andover, Massachusetts as first-year members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

## Previous season

The Warriors finished the 2023–24 season 12–19, 8–8 in NEC play, to finish in fourth place. They defeated Central Connecticut, before falling to top-seeded and eventual tournament champions Sacred Heart in the semifinals of the NEC tournament.
This would be the last season for Merrimack as members of the Northeast Conference, as they joined the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for the 2024–25 season.
