Southeast Missouri State began play in 1975, with Division I play beginning in 1991.

The Redhawks have an all-time record of 586–522 and a Division I record of 310–262 as of the end of 2015–16 season. They have been to the NCAA Tournament twice and the WNIT once. They have won the OVC title officially twice, as they won the 2007 and 2020 titles. They vacated the 2006 title due to NCAA sanctions.[4][5] In 2020, the Redhawks won the Ohio Valley Conference title, gaining an automatic bid into the 2020 NCAA Women’s Basketball Tournament. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the tournament was cancelled.
