# 2024–25 Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners women's basketball team

The 2024–25 Cal State Bakersfield Roadrunners women's basketball team represents California State University, Bakersfield during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Roadrunners, led by first-year head coach Ari Wideman, play their home games at the Icardo Center in Bakersfield, California, as members of the Big West Conference.

## Previous season

The Roadrunners finished the 2023–24 season 8–21, 5–15 in Big West play to finish in tenth place. Since only the top eight teams in the conference participate, the Matadors failed to qualify for the Big West tournament.
On March 12, 2024, the school announced that they would not be retaining head coach Greg McCall, ending his 13 year tenure with the Roadrunners. On May 3, the school announced the hiring of Toledo assistant coach Ari Wideman as the team's new head coach, becoming the first black female head coach in program history.
