The Emporia State Lady Hornets basketball team represents Emporia State University and competes in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) of NCAA Division II. Jory Collins was named head coach of the Lady Hornets basketball program in 2010 following the resignation of Brandon Schneider who left to go to Stephen F. Austin after winning the 2010 NCAA Division II Women's Basketball Championship. In his inaugural season in 2010–11, the team finished with an overall record of 20–9, and 15–7 in conference play.
The Emporia State Lady Hornets team annually plays a nineteen-game conference schedule that is preceded by an out-of-conference schedule that includes one exhibition game between the Kansas Jayhawks or the Kansas State Wildcats, switching every other year. The conference schedule consists of playing every MIAA member at least once, some twice. Emporia State does, however, play the Washburn Ichabods in the rivalry known as the Turnpike Tussle and the Pittsburg State Gorillas twice a year.
Emporia State's women's basketball program was founded in 1974, one-hundred and eleven years after the university was founded. Since 1974, the Lady Hornets have belonged to three conferences. When the school was an National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, they participated in the Great Plains Athletic Conference until 1976, Central States Intercollegiate Conference from 1976 to 1989, back to the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference from 1989 to 1991, and when the university was recognized as an NCAA Division II school in 1991, they joined the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA).
