After a brief hiatus in intercollegiate competition, the Carlow basketball program sprung back into action in 1990. Since then the team has experienced numerous successes both on the court and in the classroom. The team competes in at least 26 competitions per season as a member of the American Mideast Conference.

The Carlow Celtics, who play their home games in St. Joseph Hall on the Carlow University campus, were recognized in July 2006 by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association (WBCA) for academic success, placing in the NAIA’s top 20.
