The Texas–Arlington Mavericks women's basketball team is an NCAA Division I college basketball team competing in the Sun Belt Conference and representing the University of Texas at Arlington. Home games are played at College Park Center, located on University of Texas at Arlington's campus in Arlington. The team appeared in the 2005 NCAA tournament, losing to #4 seed Texas Tech in the first round, 69–49, and the 2007 NCAA tournament, dropping their first round game to #4 seed Texas A&M 58–50. The team has also made three postseason appearances in the NIT, the first in 1998 as an at-large, the second in 2009 and the most recent was another at-large bid in 2017.
The Mavericks began their first year of play in the 1972–73 season in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. Legendary coach Jody Conradt joined the Mavericks in their second year and was head coach for three years. When all women’s sports joined the NCAA and began play in the same conferences as the men’s sports, UTA began competing in the Southland Conference in 1982–83. Since that time, they have won three regular season titles and two tournament titles. They have finished as the regular season runner-up four times and been the tournament runner-up twice.
UTA joined the Western Athletic Conference for the 2012–13 season. It was also their final year in the WAC, as UTA joined the Sun Belt Conference July 1, 2013.
