Posted By: Will Moss on February 16, 2026


Alabama A&M University, a renowned Historically Black College and University (HBCU) located in Huntsville, Alabama, is making waves in the world of women's basketball. The Alabama A&M Bulldogs women's basketball team, led by Head Coach Dawn Thornton, is currently riding an impressive 12-game winning streak in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC).

This remarkable achievement has not only captured the attention of the HBCU community but also earned the team national recognition. The Bulldogs' dominant performance in the SWAC has cemented their status as a force to be reckoned with in the world of collegiate athletics.

Key Takeaway: Alabama A&M University's women's basketball team has achieved an impressive 12-game winning streak in the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC), solidifying their position as a powerhouse in the HBCU sports landscape.

Coach Thornton, who has been at the helm of the Bulldogs since 2018, has instilled a winning mentality within the team.



Her dedication to player development and strategic coaching have undoubtedly played a crucial role in the team's unprecedented success this season.

The Bulldogs' winning streak has not only brought pride to the Alabama A&M community but also highlighted the excellence of HBCU sports programs. This achievement serves as a testament to the depth of talent and the unwavering commitment of the student-athletes, coaches, and the entire HBCU ecosystem.
