Rankings from AP Poll

The 2014–15 Princeton Tigers women's basketball team represents Princeton University during the 2014–15 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Tigers, led by eighth year head coach Courtney Banghart, play their home games at Jadwin Gymnasium and were members of the Ivy League.

The Tigers finished the season 31–1, 14–0 to win the Ivy League regular season title to earn an automatic trip to the 2015 NCAA Women's Division I Basketball Tournament, which they lost to Maryland in the second round. The Tigers' No. 13 ranking in both the Associated Press Top-25 and USA Today Coaches polls are the highest in conference history. Princeton's No. 8 seed is the best an Ivy program has ever earned, and the Tigers' first round win over Green Bay was just the second NCAA victory for an Ivy team, joining No. 16 Harvard's upset over No. 1 Stanford in 1998.

In the January 10 conference opener against Penn, senior guard Blake Dietrick became the 22nd player in program history to surpass the 1,000-point mark.[1] She finished the season ranked 11th in scoring with 1,233 points.[2]
