Yes, women’s college basketball uses quarters, not halves, just like the men’s game. Since the 2015-2016 season, NCAA women’s basketball games have been played in four quarters, each lasting 10 minutes. This format aligns with the international basketball standard, which also uses four quarters.
Before this change, women’s college basketball games were played in two 20-minute halves, similar to the men’s game at that time. The switch to quarters was made to improve the flow of the game and align with the international format.
