Regular Season

The 1993-94 team captured Bethel's first-ever MIAC regular season title going 17-3 in conference play while boasting a 21-5 overall record after making an NCAA Tournament appearance. The .850 winning percentage in MIAC play held as the best in program history until the 2016-17 season. The Royals held a strong 14-game winning streak, which was the longest in program history until 2019-20, leading them to the regular season title. A high-powered offense that averaged 68 points a game holds the program-record for 3-point percentage in a single season where they went 42.3 (44-104) behind the arc. 

Debra Hunter was named MIAC Coach of the Year while BU boasted All-MIAC honorees in Kim Carlson, Jennifer Egge and Jodi Vaillancourt. Carlson and Valliancourt were also named to the MIAC All-Defensive Team. 

Carlson led the scoring effort with 419 points where she averaged 16.1 points per game, shooting 52.4 percent from the floor. Carlson on the defensive end was a force to be reckoned with capturing 46 steals, 41 blocked shots and averaging 7.8 boards a game. Egge and Kitri Peterson rounded out the top scorers averaging 14.7 and 12.2 points per game respectively.
