Previous season

The Chippewas finished the 2022–23 season 6–23, 4–14 in MAC play to finish in a tie for last (eleventh) place.[1] They failed to qualify for the MAC tournament, as only the top eight teams qualify.[2]

On April 6, 2023, the school announced a "change of leadership", and that head coach Heather Oesterle would not be returning as head coach, ending her four-year tenure with the team.[3] On April 20, a month after being hired as an assistant coach for the Minnesota Lynx,[4] former Michigan State assistant coach Kristin Haynie was named the team's new head coach.[5]
