SIX-TIME NATIONAL CHAMPIONS 1974-1975 • 28-0 • A.I.A.W National Champions • Coach Margaret Wade The second year of the Margaret Wade regime would pave the way for over 30 years of success on the hardwood, as coach Wade guided the Lady Statesmen to an undefeated 28-0 record and the program’s first national championship. The Lady Statesmen walked through the A.I.A.W. Mississippi State Tournament with victories over Ole Miss (76-52) and Mississippi College (89-87). In the A.I.A.W. National Tournament, the Lady Statesmen reeled off four straight wins to claim the title in Harrisburg, Penn. DSU defeated Federal City (77-75, OT), Tennessee Tech (88-66), Southern Connecti- cut (71-68), and Immaculata (90-81) en route to the title.

1975-1976 • 33-1 • A.I.A.W National Champions • Coach Margaret Wade The Lady Statesmen became the first major college women’s basketball team to claim back-to-back A.I.A.W. championships with a 33-1 record. Led by the “Fab Five” and consensus All-American Lusia Harris, the Lady Statesmen proved to be better than advertised. Delta State shook off a 64-53 loss to Immaculata on Feb, 23, 1976 to refocus and begin an improbable march to history. Coach Wade wasted little time with four straight wins at the A.I.A.W Mississippi State Tournament to advance to nationals. Once again faced with hostile road crowds, DSU reeled off seven straight wins, including a 69-64 victory over Immaculate for the crown.

1976-1977 • 32-3 • A.I.A.W National Champions • Coach Margaret Wade Dynasty is a word too often used to describe one school’s dominance in a sport. With Margaret Wade and the Lady Statesmen, it’s understood. The Lady Statesmen erased any doubt of a potential let-down after two straight national championships by rolling to their third straight and a 32-3 overall record. Lusia Harris and the “Fab Five” etched their names in the annals of sport with wins over Minnesota (87-43), Southern Connecticut (75-49), Tennessee (62-58) and Louisiana State (68-55) to claim the nation’s first women’s collegiate basketball three-peat. DSU went 14-0 at home that year and all five starters were named “All-Americans.”

1988-1989 • 30-4 • NCAA DII National Champions • Coach Lloyd Clark In his fourth season at the helm of the Lady Statesmen basketball program, coach Lloyd Clark returned Delta State Women’s Basketball to the top’s of NCAA Division II as national champions! With a nucleus of Crystal Hardy, Jo Lynn Davis, and many others, the Lady Statesmen rolled to a 30-4 finish en route to the national title. DSU defeated Jacksonville State (76-67), and West Georgia (77-72, OT) to claim the GSC title. Both teams would factor into the national tournament as well. After fighting off four regional foes, DSU blasted California-Poly Pomona, 88-58, for the title and became the first school in NCAA history to win a title at home.

1989-1990 • 32-1 • NCAA DII National Champions • Coach Lloyd Clark Building off the legacy of Margaret Wade and the great teams of the 1970s, coach Lloyd Clark and the Lady Statesmen captured a second straight national title in 1989-1990. The Lady Statesmen posted an impressive 32-1 overall record, and successfully defended Walter Sillers Coliseum 16 times with no home defeats. DSU would do more than enough to win the Gulf South Conference, out right, posting a 16-0 GSC record. Entering the Division II National Tournament, the Lady Statesmen obliterated Albany State by a score of 74-42. Delta State defeated Bentley, 77-43, to claim a second straight national championship.

1991-1992 • 30-4 • NCAA DII National Champions • Coach Lloyd Clark Coach Lloyd Clark and the Lady Statesmen collected their third title in four years in 1991-1992 with a 30-4 overall record and a narrow 65-63 victory over North Dakota State in Fargo, N.D. After failing to claim the program’s second three-peat in the 1990-1991 season, the Lady Statesmen were focused and ready to return Delta State to the national championship. DSU marched to the national title led by NCAA Tournament MVP Leslie McKiernon, downing Fla. Tech, W. Georgia, N. Dakota, and Bentley en route to the title game.
