7/11/2025 12:00:00 PM | Women's Basketball
DALLAS – The University of Delaware women's basketball program's first conference schedule as members of Conference USA is set, the league announced Thursday.
Delaware opens its 18-game conference slate on the road with matchups at UTEP (Friday, January 2) and New Mexico State (Sunday, January 4). It will be the first game between the Fightin' Blue Hens and the Miners in program history, while the Hens will make their first ever trip to Las Cruces after previously playing in 1986 in the Delaware Field House, the only time the schools have met.
The Bob Carpenter Center gets its first taste of Conference USA women's basketball the following week as UD hosts LA Tech on Thursday, January 8, and Sam Houston on Saturday, January 10. The Lady Techsters and Blue Hens have never squared off, while the Bearkats and Hens met once previously in 2012 at the Bob with Delaware emerging victorious, 63-31.
January's homestand continues with a battle against Liberty (Saturday, January 17), the second matchup all-time between the Blue & Gold and the Lady Flames as Delaware defeated Liberty in 2001, 62-56.
Delaware travels to Murfreesboro, Tennessee and Bowling Green, Kentucky for games against Middle Tennessee (Thursday, January 22) and WKU (Saturday, January 24), respectively. This will mark the first-time in program history that the Hens have faced both the Blue Raiders and Lady Toppers.
To close out January, UD hosts fellow CUSA-newcomer Missouri State on Thursday, January 29, followed by FIU on Saturday, January 31. Both games will mark the first meeting between the programs.
As the calendar flips to February, Delaware meets two more conference foes for the first time, traveling to Kennesaw, Georgia and Kennesaw State on Thursday, February 5, and Jacksonville, Alabama and Jax State on Saturday, February 7.
The rest of February consists of NM State at home (Thursday, February 12), UTEP at home (Saturday, February 14), at FIU (Thursday, February 19), at MSU (Saturday, February 21), WKU at home (Thursday, February 26), and MTSU at home (Saturday, February 28).
The regular season wraps up with a matchup at Liberty on Saturday, March 7. The Hens will then travel down to Propst Arena in Huntsville, Alabama for the 2026 CUSA Women's Basketball Championship from March 10-14.
