Arkansas State won 73 games from the 2013-14 season through the 2015-16 season, which accounts for the most wins in school history over any three-year span. The WNIT berth was the 11th in school history and the seventh under Coach Boyer. It was also just the second time in school history that Red Wolves have played in three consecutive postseason tournaments.

The Red Wolves also captured the Sun Belt Conference Team Academic award with an overall team GPA of 3.17, and placed eight student-athletes on the SBC Academic Honor Roll and SBC Commissioner's lists, while also giving the Red Wolves the team academic award for the third time in the last four seasons.

Aundrea Gamble and Khadija Brown-Haywood were also named to the All-Sun Belt Conference First-Team, while Gamble became the first student-athlete in league history to win the Sun Belt Conference Student-Athlete of the Year award three consecutive years.
