The Calgary Dinos women's basketball team represent the University of Calgary in the Canada West Universities Athletic Association of U Sports women's basketball. In 1989, the Dinos captured the Bronze Baby, awarded to the U Sports National Champions.

History

Starting on October 28, 1988, the Dinos enjoyed a superlative 69-game winning streak. Coming to an end on March 10, 1990, the stretch was highlighted by an undefeated 1988-89 season, which saw the program capture the Bronze Baby trophy. During the 1990-91 season, Jodi Evans led Canada West in points, assists, and rebounds,^[2] earning the Nan Copp Award for her efforts.

On February 11, 2012, which was also Senior Night for the Dinos, fifth-year player Jenna Kaye became the first player in program history to achieve a triple-double. Versus the Winnipeg Wesmen, Kaye recorded 10 points, 14 rebounds and 13 assists in an 88-62 victory.^[3]
