The UCF Knights women's basketball team represents the University of Central Florida located in Orlando, Florida. The Knights compete in National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division I and the American Athletic Conference (The American). They play their home games in the CFE Arena located on the university's main campus, and are currently led by head coach Katie Abrahamson-Henderson.
The Knights have appeared in the NCAA/AIAW Tournament eight times, five as a Division I team and three times as a Division II program. The Knights also appeared in the Elite Eight in 1982, and won the 1980 AIAW Division-II Florida State Championship, before falling in their first game of the national tournament. The Knights have won two of the last four conference tournament titles.
UCF began competing in AIAW in 1977-78 in Division II. In their third season, the Knights went 23–9 and won the AIAW D–II Small College Florida State Championship during the 1979–80 season. Although a member of the Sunshine State Conference, it did not organize women's basketball within the conference until 1981. They moved up to AIAW Division I in 1981–82, the last year of AIAW, and advanced to the Division I Tournament quarterfinals.
They moved to the NCAA in 1982–83, initially in Division II with the rest of the Sunshine State Conference, and were promoted to Division I in 1984–85. In all three years playing for the Sunshine State Conference, the Knights won both the conference regular season and tournament titles all three years. In their first year in NCAA Division I, they had a 20–10 record, but were not given a tournament bid since they were non-conference that first year.
