Penn State Women’s Basketball Announces Non-Conference Schedule

As it looks to build on last season’s 21 wins and trip to the third round of the WNIT, the Penn State women’s basketball program on Friday announced its 13-game non-conference slate for the 2017-18 season.

The Lady Lions will play six games at home in the Bryce Jordan Center, five on the road and two at neutral sites before opening up Big Ten play. Five of Penn State’s non-conference opponents are coming off post-season appearances.

The season opens at home on Nov. 10 against Siena followed by a visit from Drexel on Nov. 12. The Lady Lions then hit the road for trips to Marshall (Nov. 15) and Providence (Nov. 18) before returning home to face Central Connecticut State on Nov. 20.

A trip to Las Vegas for the South Point Shootout includes matchups with Kansas State on Nov. 24 and Louisiana Tech the following day. On either Nov. 29 or Nov. 30 Penn State will play an opponent to be announced in the Big Ten/ACC Challenge.

The Lady Lions will take on Manhattan for the first time on Dec. 3 at the Jordan Center and welcome Fordham for the third consecutive year on Dec. 6. 

Penn State closes out the non-conference schedule with a three-game road trip, heading to St. Bonaventure on Dec. 9, Pitt on Dec. 17 and American on Dec. 20.
