ALABAMA STATE HORNETS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Southwestern Athletic Conf.D1-FCSwinter

PROGRAM OVERVIEW

Alabama State's women's basketball program operates at a historically Black university founded in 1867 with a current enrollment of 4,081 students in Montgomery. Coach Johnetta Hayes leads 16 Hornets in the Southwestern Athletic Conference, where the team sits at 6-3 in league play following a 12-12 overall season. The program has demonstrated notable home-court advantage, posting a 7-4 record in the Dunn-Oliver Acadome while struggling away from campus with a 5-8 road record.

Offensively, Alabama State generates 61.2 points per game but surrenders 68.3 to opponents, indicating defensive challenges across the season's course. The team's scoring efficiency at home has proven critical—the seven home wins comprise more than half the season victories despite playing in hostile road environments throughout conference competition. Hayes' squad enters the remaining schedule seeking to reverse road-game trends that have significantly impacted overall tournament positioning in the SWAC.
