The 1981–82 Louisiana Tech Lady Techsters basketball team represented Louisiana Tech University during the 1981–82 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The team was led by eighth–year head coach Sonja Hogg, who guided the team to a 35–1 record and the 1982 NCAA Division I championship.[1] This was the program's second consecutive championship, following an AIAW championship in 1981. The team played their home games for the final season at Memorial Gymnasium in Ruston, Louisiana as an NCAA independent.
The Lady Techsters won their first 20 games of the season to extend the program's win streak to 54 games. Louisiana Tech lost at Old Dominion, 61–58,[2] but re-focused to close the season with a 15-game win streak to capture the inaugural NCAA women's basketball championship.
In 2017, the Lady Techsters received their championship rings after 35 years.[3]
The Lady Techsters finished the 1980–81 season with a perfect 34–0 record as an independent. They won the final AIAW tournament championship over Tennessee, 79–59.[4]
