Cheryl Miller was the first woman to dunk in an organized Basketball game: In 1982, she scored 105 points against Notre Vista High School in a 179-15 Riverside victory. Midway through the game, she threw down a one-handed dunk. No woman had ever dunked in a game before. Only six women have dunked in a college game. The other four members of this elite sorority besides Candace Parker and Sylvia Fowles are Georganne Wells of West Virginia, Charlotte Smith of North Carolina, Sancho Lyttle of Houston, and Michelle Snow of Tennessee. Candace Parker and Lisa Leslie are the only two women to dunk in the WNBA.

The first dunk in a college game belongs to W. Va Georgioan Wells. So, as far as I can tell there have been 4 women to dunk in the NCAA (Wells, Michelle Snow, Candice Parker and Brittney Griner) and 6 overall.

Parker and Griner dunked in the NCAA tournament.

Lisa Leslie was the first woman to dunk a basketball in the WNBA. Other pro players to dunk are Michelle Snow, Candice Parker, Sylvia Fowles, and Brittney Griner.

Griner was the first Woman to dunk int he WNBA Playoffs on August 24, 2014.
