The Lions, led by seventh-year head coach Megan Griffith, played their home games at Levien Gymnasium as members of the Ivy League. They finished the Ivy League season 12–2, winning a share of the title for the first time in program history.[1] Columbia was the No. 2 seed at the 2023 Ivy League women's basketball tournament, but they fell to Harvard in the semifinals.[2] After being the first team left out of the NCAA tournament field, the Lions accepted an auto-bid to the 2023 WNIT.[3] They were the first Ivy League team to reach the semifinals or finals of the WNIT.[4] Columbia lost to Kansas in the WNIT championship game.
