The team qualified for the 1991 NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament winning games against Texas, LSU, and Arkansas.

After the season and probation
Al Barbe was named American South Conference Coach of the Year and Converse District VI Coach of the Year. Brenda Hackett and Urannah Jackson were named as American South Conference First Team players.[1]
Following an NCAA investigation, all wins for the season were vacated due to violations by the program. In addition, the program was placed on two years' probation and the number of allowed scholarships was reduced during the probation period. Al Barbre resigned as head coach.[2]
