On a five-year streak of winning or tying for the conference championship, Saints women’s basketball was the top pick to win again this year as shown in the release of the 2017-2018 Red River Athletic Conference (RRAC) Women’s Basketball Preseason Poll. The Saints received nine of the 10 first-place votes in the poll. The women have lost just one regular season conference game – on Jan. 20, 2017, to LSU-Shreveport (LSUS), 67-69 in overtime – in the last two years. They captured the 2015-2016 RRAC tournament, and lost to LSUS in the finals in 2017.
