ABILENE CHRISTIAN WILDCATS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Abilene Christian's women's basketball program competes from Moody Coliseum in Abilene, Texas, home to the nearly 7,274-student institution established in 1906. Coach Julie Goodenough has built a 19-7 team this season that demonstrates particularly strong performance on their home court, posting a 12-1 record at Moody Coliseum compared to 7-6 on the road. The Wildcats average 73.1 points per game while holding opponents to 58.9, yielding a +14.2 scoring margin that reflects disciplined defensive execution.
ACU competes in the Western Athletic Conference where the team holds an 8-4 conference record, positioning themselves prominently in league standings. Working with a 13-player roster, Goodenough has constructed a squad that thrives in controlled environments—the home-court advantage at Moody Coliseum translates to a five-game difference in win-loss ratios. The Wildcats' ability to win decisively at home while managing closer contests on the road highlights both their venue strength and areas for development as they pursue deeper postseason tournament participation in the WAC.
