The 2018–19 Emporia State Lady Hornets basketball team will represent Emporia State University in the 2018–19 NCAA Division II women's basketball season, which will be the 45th Lady Hornets basketball season. The Lady Hornets will be led by first-year head coach Toby Wynn.[1] The team will play their home games on Slaymaker Court William L. White Auditorium in Emporia, Kansas, the home court since 1974.[2] Emporia State is a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.
Preseason outlook
The Lady Hornets enter the 2018–19 season after finishing with a 17–11 overall, 11–8 in conference play last season under Jory Collins.[3] Losing in the MIAA Tournament caused the team's first Tournament loss in 16 games, winning the tournament for the past 5 years.[4]
Collins announced his resignation on March 12, 2018 to become an assistant coach for former boss and former Lady Hornet basketball coach, Brandon Schneider, at the University of Kansas.[5] On April 6, 2018, Toby Wynn, head coach of the Seward County Saints women's basketball program, was announced as the seventh head coach in Lady Hornet history.[6] Wynn had a winning record of 349–84 .806 while at Seward County and won four Kansas Jayhawk Community College Conference championships.[7]
On October 9, 2018, the Lady Hornets were chosen to finish third in the coaches poll[8] and fourth in the media poll[9] in the MIAA.
