The slate features 29 home games and 10 contests against teams that made the NCAA Tournament in 2015.
“I am looking forward to kicking off the 2016 season with this very young and hardworking squad,” coach Amy Tudor said in a news release. “We graduated seven starters from last season, so we will count on youth and talent to push us through this challenging schedule.”
