# 2024–25 Sacred Heart Pioneers women's basketball team

The 2024–25 Sacred Heart Pioneers women's basketball team represents Sacred Heart University during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Pioneers, led by 12th-year head coach Jessica Mannetti, play their home games at the William H. Pitt Center in Fairfield, Connecticut as first-year members of the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference.

## Previous season

The Pioneers finished the 2023–24 season 24–10, 15–1 in NEC play, to finish as NEC regular-season champions. They defeated Saint Francis, Merrimack, and Le Moyne to win the NEC tournament championship for the second year in a row, and in turn, earned the NEC's automatic bid to the NCAA tournament. They received the #16 seed in the Albany Regional 1, where they would be defeated by Presbyterian in the First Four.
This would be the last season for Sacred Heart as members of the Northeast Conference, as they joined the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference for the 2024–25 season.
