Chicago State Head Women's Basketball Coach Andrea Williams released the team's 2023-24 schedule today. The Cougars will open the season at home against Loyola Chicago on November 9 at the Jones Convocation Center and will wrap up the campaign with six of their last seven games in the JCC as they will feature 11 home games in 2023-24.
The Cougars will unofficially tip off the season November 2 in an exhibition game at Eastern Illinois with proceeds benefitting those affected by the Maui wildfires. CSU will also compete in tournaments at Cleveland State and Florida International with Power 5 away games at Minnesota and Notre Dame
"We have some great opponents on our schedule this upcoming season," Williams said. "We are excited to go to Notre Dame. They are two-time former National Champions so it's going to be a beneficial experience for our team.
"The Cleveland State tournament will be a good gauge for our program. The Vikings are an NCAA tournament team and the FIU tourney features some comparable-talent teams with Alabama A&M and another NCAA tournament team in Texas State."
When the calendar flips to 2024, Chicago State will enjoy the comforts of home, playing five home games in January and one in February with the lone away game at Long Island University in Brooklyn, a team they will also host at the JCC mid-January.
"January is going to be nice since we have been able to secure a home schedule so our fans can see us play later in the campaign, after the semester break," Williams said. "I'm excited about our two seniors and the year they are expecting on the court. Ana (Haklicka) and Laura (Segues) have done a tremendous job representing CSU and we're looking forward to the leadership they'll provide our team."
