† 2023 CAA tournament winner As of March 17, 2023 Rankings from AP poll |
The 2023 Colonial Athletic Association women's basketball tournament was the postseason women's college basketball tournament for the Colonial Athletic Association for the 2022–23 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The tournament was held March 8–12, 2023 at the SECU Arena in Towson, Maryland.[1][2] Monmouth won the tournament to claim the conference's automatic bid to the 2023 NCAA tournament, marking the Hawks' first NCAA tournament appearance since 1983. The seventh-seeded Hawks were also the lowest seed ever to win the CAA women's tournament, defeating all three of the top seeds in the process, and were also the first CAA team to win four games in consecutive days to win the tournament.[3]
This was the final women's basketball tournament held under the Colonial Athletic Association name. On July 20, 2023, the CAA announced it had changed its name to Coastal Athletic Association. The name change did not affect the CAA initialism, and the conference kept its existing logo.[4]
