Eastern Washington University’s women’s basketball program has announced its non‑conference schedule for the 2026‑27 season, a 12‑game slate that blends home‑court advantages with challenging road trips.
The campaign kicks off with an early test on the road, as the Eagles travel to Salt Lake City to meet the University of Utah before returning to Cheney for their first home game against UC Davis on November 6.
Key Matchups
A marquee home contest will pit Eastern Washington against Gonzaga on November 29, a game that follows an exhibition against Whitworth on November 24 and a series opener against Southern Utah in Cedar City on November 22.
The Eagles will also host Walla Walla on November 13 and UC Irvine on November 15, while a later stretch includes a trip to Corvallis to take on Oregon State, a rematch of their 2024 NCAA Tournament first‑round encounter.
Mid‑season road games include a visit to Pullman to face Washington State on December 8, a venue where the team posted a narrow 71‑69 victory last year, and a showdown at Cal Poly SLO in San Luis Obispo on December 12.
International Finale
The season will close with an international swing in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Eastern Washington will meet Chicago State on December 18 and Cleveland State on December 20, marking the program’s first overseas games in the new schedule.
The upcoming slate comes on the heels of a 2024‑25 campaign that ended with a 7‑11 record in the Big Sky Conference and a 15‑18 overall mark, a season highlighted by a 55‑53 upset of the No. 3 seed Northern Colorado in the conference tournament.
