† 2017 America East tournament winner As of March 18, 2017 *ineligible for postseason play due to Div. I transitions Rankings from AP poll

The 2016–17 UMass Lowell River Hawks women's basketball team will represent the University of Massachusetts Lowell during the 2015–16 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The River Hawks were led by second year head coach Jenerrie Harris and will once again play most their home games in the Costello Athletic Center while select games will be played in the Tsongas Center at UMass Lowell and are members of the America East Conference.

UMass Lowell is in the fourth and final year of a transition to Division I and thus ineligible for the postseason, including the America East Tournament.

Media

All non-televised home games and conference road games will stream on either ESPN3 or AmericaEast.tv. Most road games will stream on the opponents website.
