Mount St. Mary’s Unveils 2026‑27 Women’s Basketball Non‑Conference Slate

Twelve matchups set the stage for a season that opens with a home showdown against Navy and features a blend of familiar rivals and new challengers

Mount St. Mary's University has released its 2026‑27 women's basketball non‑conference schedule, a 12‑game slate that will bridge the gap to Metro Conference play. The campaign opens on November 2 with a home matchup against the Navy Midshipmen, the 31st meeting between the two programs and the first home opener since the 2018‑19 season.

Season Kickoff

Four of the contests will be held at Knott Arena, including a November 21 clash with St. Mary's of Maryland, the first encounter between the schools since 1978. The lineup also introduces first‑time opponents such as UAlbany, Nebraska and Dayton, adding new dimensions to the Mountaineers' schedule.

Road Warriors

The remainder of the games will take the team on the road, where they will meet UMBC, Lehigh, UMES, West Virginia, Morgan State and Maryland. Last season the program climbed from tenth to third in Metro Conference attendance, a trend the athletic department hopes to build upon as fans return to support the new slate.

While the complete schedule — including the upcoming Metro Conference fixtures — remains pending, ticket information and further updates are expected in the coming weeks.
