The 2023–24 Sacramento State Hornets women's basketball team represents California State University, Sacramento during the 2023–24 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Hornets, led by first-year head coach Aaron Kallhoff, play their home games at the Hornets Nest in Sacramento, California as members of the Big Sky Conference.

Previous season[edit]

The Hornets finished the 2022–23 season 25–8, 13–5 in Big Sky play to finish in a three-way tie for first place.[1] Due to tiebreakers, they received the #3 seed in the Big Sky tournament, where they defeated #6 seed Idaho in the quarterfinals,[2] #7 seed Portland State in the semifinals,[3] and top-seeded Northern Arizona to win the Big Sky tournament championship for the first time in program and earned the Big Sky's automatic bid into the NCAA tournament.[4] They received the #13 seed in the Greenville 1 Region.[5] They were defeated by #4 region seed UCLA in the first round.[6]

On March 21, 2023, head coach Mark Campbell announced that he would be stepping down, in order to take the head coaching position at TCU.[7] On April 19, the school announced the hiring of BYU assistant coach Aaron Kallhoff as the team's next head coach.[8]
