Siena’s women’s basketball team has revealed its 2026‑27 Metro Conference schedule, a 20‑game campaign that deliberately tilts toward an unbalanced mix of home and away contests. The slate opens with a road test at Merrimack on December 19, followed by a much‑anticipated home debut against Quinnipiac at the UHY Center on December 21.
Opening Week
The early stretch promises high stakes, as the Saints will also meet Iona on January 30 in a rematch of last season’s Metro Tournament quarterfinal. Siena will host Marist twice, renewing the historic I‑87 rivalry and giving fans another chance to experience that classic showdown on their own floor.
Beyond the marquee matchups, the schedule features a blend of league opponents: ten home games and ten road games, with eight conference rivals appearing twice and four meeting just once. A December 29 home clash with defending champion Fairfield adds another layer of excitement, while the regular‑season finale at home against Manhattan is set for February 25.
Championship Chase
The culmination of the regular season will see the Metro Conference Women’s Basketball Championship return to Atlantic City, New Jersey, from March 4 through March 8. That event will bring together the league’s top teams for a neutral‑site showdown that has become a staple of the conference calendar.
Season ticket holders will receive renewal information in the coming weeks and will be entered into a promotion tied to the June Jackpot, adding an extra incentive for fans who have supported the program throughout the year.
