Led by second-year head coach Kristy Curry, the Boilermakers played their home games at Mackey Arena in West Lafayette, Indiana. Purdue finished the regular season with a 14–2 record in Big Ten play to capture the regular season title. They were upset by Iowa in the Big Ten tournament, but received a bid to the NCAA tournament as No. 3 seed in the Mideast region.
