The Edinboro women’s club basketball team has begun its non-conference schedule and will seek to defend its conference championship when it begins conference play in February.
Last season, Edinboro joined the NCBBA-W, which is the largest women’s collegiate club basketball league in the country with almost 100 teams. The Fighting Scots club team posted a 14-3 record (9-1 in conference), won the North Atlantic-West Conference and was ranked as high as 10th in the nation before bowing out to Syracuse in the regional tournament.
Edinboro’s conference games will start shortly after the spring semester begins. Edinboro will play two games against each of these opponents, and the top two teams in the conference will advance to the regional tournament. Below is Edinboro’s conference schedule.

Sunday, Feb. 16 – Niagara (Away)
Sunday, Feb. 23 – SUNY Oswego (Away)

All games are doubleheader games with the first game beginning at 1 p.m. All home games will be played in the Pogue Student Center’s Recreation Center. The top two teams in the conference will advance to the four-team regional tournament March 29-30. The winner of the regional tournament will advance to the eight-team NCBBA-W National Championship Tournament April 11-13.
