To open the decade the Cal Lutheran women's basketball team claimed a third consecutive conference championship in 2000 and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division III playoffs.

The program amassed 134 victories during that time including three 19-win seasons and 81 conference wins.

Trailing by two with four seconds left and Redlands ball, a Cal Lutheran steal allowed for a three-point time expiring desperation heave by Donielle Griggs that left the Currier Gym faithful gasping. It was all net but fell short leaving the final score 63-61 in favor of the home team during the SCIAC Tournament semifinal on Thursday night.
Both teams earned the No. 3 seed for the upcoming 2009-10 SCIAC Postseason Tournament coming up this week. Both games will be played at 7:30 p.m. with the Regals traveling to Redlands on Thursday and the Kingsmen out to Pomona-Pitzer on Friday.
