The 2024–25 Le Moyne Dolphins women's basketball team represented Le Moyne College during the 2024–25 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Dolphins, led by first-year head coach Nick DiPillo, played their home games on Ted Grant Court in the Le Moyne Events Center in DeWitt, New York[a] as second-year members of the Northeast Conference (NEC) and as an NCAA Division I program.

The Dolphins finished the season with a 7–24 record, 6–10 in NEC play, to finish in a three-way tie for fifth place.[1] In the NEC tournament, they defeated Saint Francis in the quarterfinals[2] before being eliminated by Stonehill in the semifinals.[3]

Previous season

The Dolphins finished the 2023–24 season 18–15, 14–2 in NEC play, to finish in second place.[4] They were bested by top seed Sacred Heart in the championship of the NEC tournament.[5] The Dolphins received an automatic bid to the WNIT,[6] where they were defeated by Niagara in the first round.[7]

On April 24, 2024, head coach Mary Grimes departed from the program after three seasons after being hired as the head coach of Binghamton.[8] The Dolphins hired Bowling Green assistant Nick DiPillo as their new head coach on May 23.[9]
