History

Historically, Peay's women's teams had been known as "Lady Govs", but the university began using "Governors" for women's teams in 2015–16.

As of the end of the 2015–16 season, the Governors have an all-time record of 459–669 since records were kept in 1976. They had played from 1929 to 1936 and had started play again in 1970, but those records are lost. The Govs have made the NCAA Tournament seven times, losing in the First Round each time.[3]
