Summit League Announces Women’s Basketball Schedule
ELMHURST, Ill. – The Summit League announced its 2015-16 women’s basketball schedule today with each of the nine teams playing a 16-game double round-robin schedule.
League contests are scheduled for nine weeks, beginning on Dec. 30, with regular season games concluding on Feb. 27.
A pair of games tip-off league play on Dec. 30. Omaha, in its first year as an active Division I member following a four-year transition period, hosts North Dakota State in the first league game in Baxter Arena. Defending regular season champion South Dakota also hosts Denver.
Three games are slated for New Year’s Day, highlighted by Oral Roberts visiting Western Illinois as both teams finished tied for third a year ago.
Jan. 16 marks the first rematch of last season’s Summit League Championship finale between South Dakota and South Dakota State as the teams collide in Brookings. The squads will meet again on Feb. 20 in Vermillion.
The regular season comes to an end on Feb. 27 with four league contests slated. Denver hosts Omaha, Fort Wayne welcomes North Dakota State, IUPUI faces South Dakota in The Jungle and Western Illinois battles South Dakota State in Macomb.
The 2016 Summit League Women’s Basketball Championship is set for March 5-8, at the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center in Sioux Falls, S.D.
