MERRIMACK WARRIORS WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Merrimack College's women's basketball program operates from North Andover with an enrollment of 5,862 students and represents the Warriors in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference with men's basketball teams competing in Football Championship Subdivision contexts. Kelly Morrone leads the 15-player roster at Hammel Court, where the Warriors posted a commanding 9-3 home record this season. The offensive unit averaged 68.9 points per game while holding opponents to 64.8, a four-point differential that reflects balanced scoring and defensive capability during conference play.
The Warriors compiled a 15-10 overall record highlighted by a strong 12-4 conference mark, demonstrating consistency across their winter schedule. Away from home, Merrimack faced tougher competition, registering a 6-7 away record while maintaining competitive offensive production. Founded in 1947, the program has developed into a fixture within the MAAC structure, where the Warriors' ability to protect Hammel Court—winning 75 percent of home games—provided crucial wins that drove their conference standing and postseason positioning through the winter schedule.
