FARGO, N.D. (NDSU Athletics) – The North Dakota State women’s basketball team has released the 2020-21 non-conference schedule, including three games against Power Five schools. It marks the first time since 2011-12 that the Bison will face three Power Five schools in the same season.
The Bison will travel to Nebraska on Nov. 25 to open the season. The Huskers went 17-13 last season. NDSU will also travel to 15th-ranked Iowa State on Dec. 12 and Kansas on Dec. 21. The Cyclones were 18-11 last year and ended the season by beating second-ranked Baylor in the season finale. NDSU Head Coach Jory Collins spent the 2018-19 season as an assistant for the Jayhawks before being named the head coach at NDSU. The Jayhawks went 15-14 last season.
“Our non-conference schedule is full of very good teams and should help us prepare for Summit League play,” Collins said. “It will be a great challenge for our team.”
NDSU will have three-straight home games to open December, starting with Northern Iowa on Dec. 2. Northern Iowa had an 18-11 record last year. The Bison will also host Green Bay on Dec. 5 and 6. Green Bay has finished in the top two of the Horizon League for 23-straight years and ended last season with a 19-13 record.
The Bison will also host North Dakota in a non-conference game on Dec. 16. The two teams will also face each other twice in the Summit League schedule, with both games being held in Grand Forks.
