Utah State women’s basketball announces full schedule
Utah State women’s basketball is all set for a 2017-18 campaign running through six in-state opponents, last year’s no. 8 team in the country and a December trip to Maui.
Head coach Jerry Finkbeiner guided USU to an 8-6 non-conference record in 2016, including wins over Montana State, Idaho State and UVU. This season, the Aggies will face 11 non-conference opponents, including three teams hailing from the Pac-12 — Arizona, Utah and Oregon State. OSU finished the 2016-17 season ranked no. 8 in the AP top 25.
Utah State kicks off the season with an exhibition game, a home contest versus Westminster, on Saturday, Nov. 4. The Aggies will play in the Maui Classic on Dec. 1-2 against the Beavers and Montana State, with Nevada also in attendance. On returning home, USU will face off against BYU on Wednesday, Dec. 6, and at Utah Valley on Saturday, Dec. 9.
The Aggies host Denver on Saturday, Dec. 16, and Utah on Monday, Dec. 18 to cap the non-conference portion of the season.
Utah State’s conference schedule begins Thursday, Dec. 28 against San Jose State. The Mountain West season will feature home-and-home games against eight teams, plus a road game at Colorado State and a home contest against San Diego State University.
