# 2023–24 Monmouth Hawks women's basketball team

The 2023–24 Monmouth Hawks women's basketball team represented Monmouth University during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Hawks, led by third-year head coach Ginny Boggess, played their home games at OceanFirst Bank Center in West Long Branch, New Jersey, as members of the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA).

## Previous season

The Hawks finished the 2022–23 season 18–16, 9–9 in CAA play, to finish in a tie for seventh place. As the #7 seed in the CAA tournament, they defeated #10 seed Charleston in the second round, upset #2 seed Drexel, #3 seed Northeastern and top-seeded Towson to become the lowest-seeded team to ever win the CAA tournament, doing it in their first season in the CAA, sending the Hawks to just their second NCAA tournament appearance, their first since 1983. They earned the CAA's automatic bid into the NCAA tournament, receiving the #16 seed in the Greenville Regional 2. They were defeated by Tennessee Tech in the First Four.
