Garden City, N.Y. – Head coach Sade Jackson has announced the 2026-27 schedule for the Adelphi University women's basketball program, as the Panthers look to build on their fifth consecutive Northeast 10 Conference Championship appearance.

The Cats return a majority of their roster from last season, losing just one senior while bringing in two freshmen. Highlighting the returning group is Isabella Ascencio, who missed the almost the entirety of last season due to injury. Ascencio, alongside reigning NE10 Defensive Player of the Year Lauren Beberman, will headline the Panthers' lineup as the team prepares to open its season at Chestnut Hill College on Monday, Nov. 9, at 6 p.m.

After two games in the ECC-NE10 Conference Challenge at Pace University, the Panthers will welcome fans to the Center for Recreation and Sport for their home opener against Molloy University on Wednesday, Nov. 18, at 5:30 p.m. The contest will mark the beginning of a three-game homestand that also features matchups against Post University (Nov. 21) and Kutztown University (Nov. 24).

Following a four-game road stretch, the Brown and Gold will return home to play Franklin Pierce University on Saturday, Dec. 19, at 1:30 p.m., marking their first home conference matchup of the season.

Adelphi will open the new year with a trip to Saint Anselm College (Jan. 3) before hosting Assumption University (Jan. 6) and Saint Michael's College (Jan. 9) to the CRS for a pair of NE10 showdowns.

On Wednesday, Jan. 20, the Panthers will host Southern Connecticut State University in a rematch of last year's NE10 quarterfinal, which saw the Owls bring Adelphi's postseason run to an end.

The Cats will remain at home on Saturday, Jan. 23, as they welcome Bentley University, the conference favorite according to the NE10 Preseason Coaches' Poll. Start time against the Falcons is scheduled for 1:30 p.m.

The month of February features three home contests, as Adelphi takes on Pace University (Feb. 9), Southern New Hampshire University (Feb. 13) and American International College (Feb. 23) in Garden City. The Panthers will conclude their regular season against the Yellow Jackets on Feb. 23, with tip-off scheduled for 5:30 p.m.

Jackson and the Panthers will look to capture their first NE10 Championship since the 2016-17 season and make their first NCAA Tournament appearance since the 2019-20 campaign.
