The 2017–18 Yale Bulldogs women's basketball team represented Yale University during the 2017–18 NCAA Division I women's basketball season. The Bulldogs, led by third year head coach Allison Guth, played their home games at John J. Lee Amphitheater of the Payne Whitney Gymnasium as members of the Ivy League.[1] [2] [3]
