The Boilermakers are making their fifth entry into the WNIT and second under Coach Gearlds. Purdue reached the second round of the 2022 edition Gearlds’ first season back at her alma mater.
“Purdue’s previous WNIT appearances came in 1988 (as the National Women’s Invitational Tournament), 2010 and 2018, in addition to 2022. The 1988 appearance was the first postseason run in program history, falling in the championship game to DePaul. The Boilermakers made it to the third round of the 2018 tournament, before falling to the eventual champion Indiana.” – Purdue Sports
