The Syracuse Orange women's basketball team has released its non‑conference schedule for the 2026‑27 season, setting up a home opener against Cornell on November 8 at the JMA Wireless Dome.
That matchup continues a rivalry that dates back to 1973, during which the Orange have compiled an 18‑3 record against the Big Red, including a nine‑game winning streak that still stands.
A historic rivalry
The most recent meeting in December 2023 ended with Syracuse pulling away 78‑71, reinforcing the team's consistent edge over Cornell.
Beyond Cornell, the schedule includes home games against Sacred Heart, Canisius and Oklahoma, while a December home contest against Le Moyne caps the non‑conference slate.
Looking ahead
The Orange will also travel to face the same opponents, creating a balanced mix of competition as they prepare for the upcoming conference season. The full slate promises a challenging but exciting start to the year for Syracuse's program.
