Here’s the latest I can share based on recent Coast Guard Bears women’s basketball updates.
Short answer
- Coast Guard Bears women’s basketball earned a playoff berth with a win at Mount Holyoke, finishing the regular season 13-12 overall and 5-6 in NEWMAC, and they earned the 7 seed for the NEWMAC tournament. They were set to begin the postseason on the road at Babson College on Feb. 25, 2026.[1]
Key recent developments
- Regular-season finale: Coast Guard defeated Mount Holyoke 70-49 to close the regular season, securing a 7th seed in the NEWMAC tournament and a road playoff date at Babson.[1]
- Other 2025–26 context: News coverage notes a nailbiter loss in mid-February and a season-ending NEWMAC tournament game at Babson is referenced as the Bears’ postseason appearance for that year.[3][5]
- Historical notes: Coast Guard has had other notable results in recent seasons, including earlier 2024 and 2025 games, but the latest clear postseason confirmation centers on the 2025–26 NEWMAC playoff berth and first-round game at Babson.[5][1]
What this means for fans
- If you’re following the 2025–26 season, the Bears’ trajectory culminated in earning a tournament seed and an away game in the first round, which is typical for a team finishing in the middle of the NEWMAC standings.
- For live updates, Coast Guard’s athletics site typically provides game recaps, playoff brackets, and streaming/info for the NEWMAC tournament.
Would you like me to pull the exact game-by-game results from the 2025–26 season and compile a concise season summary or a small win/loss chart? I can also look up the official playoff bracket and the date/time for the Babson game if you’d like. I can include citations for each item if you’d like.
