UBC started their string of dominance during the 1969-70 season, winning a conference title while also emerging as senior ‘A’ national champions.
The following season, UBC claimed the very first Bronze Baby – the Canadian university women's basketball national championship trophy – with a win over the University of New Brunswick.
Led by the likes of Canada West hall of famer Joanne Sargent, UBC repeated as national champions the following two seasons with wins over Manitoba, and UNB respectively.
