A three-time MIAC and region coach of the year, Tammy Metcalf-Filzen has established herself and Carleton's program as one of the elite in the MIAC all of NCAA Division III. Under her watch the Knights have been consistently ranked in the nation's top 20 and have averaged more than 20 wins over the past six seasons. Since Metcalf-Filzen, also a professor of physical education, athletics and recreation at Carleton, assumed the head coaching position, the program has winning percentage of .720 and posted four consecutive 20-win seasons from 2000-04. Metcalf-Filzen has led Carleton to a 133-35 record over the last six seasons. Her winning percentage is the best in school history and ranks in the top 50 nationally. Her 172 wins are the most victories by any Carleton women's basketball coach.

With a youthful group last season, the Knights started off slowly before winning 11 of their final 13 regular-season games. They beat Hamline and top seed St. Benedict in the MIAC Playoffs, advancing for the title game for the sixth time in the event’s six-year history. Three-time All-American Megan Vig was a finalist for the Josten's Trophy, marking the third time in five years Carleton has had a finalist for the Division III player of the year award.

The Knights have won three MIAC titles under Metcalf-Filzen’s guidance, including the school’s first outright crown in 2004-05. They won four consecutive MIAC Playoff titles from 2001-04 and made NCAA Tournament appearances in 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2004.

The 2004-05 season brought Carleton its first outright MIAC regular-season title and its third consecutive conference title. The Knights ran their home unbeaten streak to 24 games and won 15 consecutive games after losing their first three games of the season. Vig was a finalist for the Josten's Trophy and although Carleton's string of MIAC Playoff titles and NCAA Tournament appearances ended at four, the Knights' 18-2 MIAC mark tied a school record for least conference losses in a season. Carleton was again nationally ranked for much of the season.

In 2003-04, the Knights recorded a 25-4 overall record, 19-3 in MIAC play, to earn a share of their second consecutive MIAC regular season title. For the fourth consecutive year, Carleton claimed the MIAC Playoff title and the NCAA Tournament bid that goes with it. The Knights posted the school's first undefeated home record, including a home victory in the NCAA Tournament's first round. Metcalf-Filzen was named the MIAC's coach of the year and the WBCA region coach of the year as the Knights matched the school record for wins in a single season and advanced to the NCAA Tournament's second round for the third consecutive season. Carleton was nationally ranked for the entire year for the second consecutive season.

The Knights won the school's first MIAC regular season title in 2002-03, winning a school-record 23 consecutive games to begin the season en route to 25 victories on the year, also a school record. Metcalf-Filzen was named the MIAC Co-Coach of the Year and the Russell Athletic/WBCA region coach of the year after leading the Knights to a 25-3 record. Carleton was nationally ranked for the entire season, ending the regular season ranked sixth by D3Hoops.com and eighth by the WBCA. The Knights were the top-ranked team in the NCAA west region rankings for the entire season. Carleton also set a school record with 20 MIAC victories.

In 2001-02, Metcalf-Filzen led the Knights to a 24-7 record, 18-4 in the MIAC. The Knights advanced to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season and won the school's first NCAA Tournament game. The 2000-01 Knights posted a 22-5 mark, 18-3 in the MIAC.
