NACOGDOCHES, Texas – The Stephen F. Austin women's basketball team will play a total of 31 regular season games spanning five months during the 2018-19 regular season schedule, announced Monday afternoon by head coach Mark Kellogg. The program will be embarking on its 51stseason of competition, and is on the hunt for its 33rd 20+ win season in 2018-19.
For the third straight season, the 'Jacks will begin the regular season on the road against a tough opponent, as they have been chosen to participate in the Preseason WNIT and drew the University of Miami in a first round matchup on November 9. Following that matchup, the 'Jacks will play two other opponents yet to be named in the tournament, before returning home for their first home games of the season as part of a stretch where the 'Jacks play four of five games at William R. Johnson Coliseum. That stretch includes home games against Our Lady of the Lake (Nov. 20) and Wiley College (Dec. 1).
"We very much have a balanced schedule this year that will test us in a variety of ways and ultimately prepare us for Southland Conference play", said SFA head coach Mark Kellogg. "We will get thrown into the fire with the University of Miami and two other opponents in the pre-season WNIT. Miami is a traditional NCAA tournament team and will be big and athletic. We will play Tulsa at home in November and then finish the month at Texas Tech. We get a return home game and stiff competition from a talented Montana State team in early December as well as a really good Texas Southern team after finals week. We will head to Albuquerque to play in the New Mexico Tournament right before Christmas and we will get challenged against some quality opponents."
The 'Jacks will close out the 2018 calendar year with a final non-conference matchup with Cameron University at home on December 29th, before beginning the Southland Conference schedule three days later in the new year.
"We will have a great opportunity to develop our identity and establish some roles this season with the non-conference schedule", Kellogg added. "We have a lot of work to do between now and Jan. 2nd when we start SLC play, but I'm excited to watch this team grow."
Opening up the conference slate once again with a matchup against Southeastern Louisiana, the 'Jacks will begin their journey through SLC play on Jan. 2ndin Hammond, La. Following that matchup, the 'Jacks will host Nicholls on January 9 for a rematch of the 2017 Southland Conference tournament title game, followed a rivalry matchup against Northwestern State three days later on the 12th, also at home. A midweek home contest against New Orleans on January 16 is the final home game of January for the 'Jacks, who play the final three games of the month on the road. Those games include trips to San Antonio, Abilene and Conway to face Incarnate Word (Jan. 19), Abilene Christian (Jan. 23) and Central Arkansas (Jan. 30).
A total of eight games are to be played by the Ladyjacks in February, beginning a jaunt to Huntsville to face rival Sam Houston State (Feb. 2). A pair of home contests versus Houston Baptist (Feb. 6) and Lamar (Feb. 9) await the 'Jacks following the rivalry contest, followed by three straight road games at McNeese (Feb. 13), Northwestern State (Feb. 16) and Texas A&M-Corpus Christi (Feb. 20). Rounding out the month of February will be home tilts versus Incarnate Word (Feb. 23) and Central Arkansas (Feb. 27).
Of the three last regular season contests scheduled for the 'Jacks in March, the final two will be at home following a trip to Beaumont on March 2. The Ladyjacks close out the regular season with home games against Abilene Christian (March 6) and Sam Houston State (March 9).
