The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga women’s basketball team announced its full schedule Monday, which includes 14 contests at McKenzie Arena and 18 games against 2018 postseason participants.
The Mocs, who finished 17-12 in 2017-18, start their first season with Katie Burrows as head coach on Nov. 6 at home against Lee University. The Lady Flames won 24 games last season and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II tournament.
UTC’s nonconference slate also features games against Louisville, Liberty, Central Michigan, South Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Belmont, North Carolina State – each a 2018 NCAA Division I tournament participant. In addition, Virginia Tech, Saint Louis, UT-Martin, Central Florida and Middle Tennessee State participated in the Women’s National Invitation Tournament.
The Mocs play Saint Louis and Central Michigan in the Cavalier Classic Nov. 24-25 in Charlottesville, Virginia. A month later, they will play in the Fordham Holiday Classic in the Bronx. After playing MTSU on Dec. 29, UTC could play Fordham, a WNIT team last season, or Maine, which participated in the NCAA tournament.
Only Hampton, which the Mocs visit on Nov. 16, didn’t participate in a postseason tournament.
