List of NCAA Division I women's basketball season scoring leaders


In basketball, points are the sum of the score accumulated through free throw or field goal.
While the NCAA's current three-division format has been in place since the 1973–74 season, the organization did not sponsor women's sports until the 1981–82 school year; before that time, women's college sports were governed by the Association of Intercollegiate Athletics for Women. The NCAA has officially recorded scoring statistics since it first sponsored women's basketball.
Unlike for men's basketball, the NCAA does not keep records of the top scorers for a single season. Records of the top scorer for each season and scorers with more than 900 points in a season are however available.
Kelsey Plum currently holds the single-season scoring record for NCAA Division I of 1,109 points, set during her senior season at Washington. She is also the only NCAA Division I women's basketball player who scored more than 900 points in more than one season.
