Any idea when the schedule comes out? I assumed it would be around the same time as the men, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

So the big road trips are when the Revolutionaries take Manhattan and the three games in Puerto Rico (two against former A-10 teams... hope they kick those turncoats´ butts). What is the deal with scheduling Stonehill-- was this a bundle thing to avoid a repeat of the the Appy St extorsion scheme? Truth be told, I had never heard of Stonehill before the basketball schedules were released.

Stonehill plays in the Northeast Conference, with the likes of Wagner, Central Connecticut, Long Island U, and Fairleigh Dickinson among others. I believe this season will be the 3rd (?) year that Stonehill has competed in D1.
Former Colonial Maddie Loder played for Stonehill as a graduate transfer this past season. She was a starter, and averaged 10 points a game. No idea whether that had anything to do with why this game was scheduled.

Former GW WBB player Maddie Loder actually transferred to Stonehill for her grad year before last season but she has since graduated/ran out of eligibility.
Not a huge fan of taking a trip to UMES (or Towson) but I realize that's how it goes sometimes. Playing a D2 school at home for the third year in a row is awful (and they managed to find a team that lost by 20 to Wilmington, who GW beat by 44 last season). I understand that there are difficulties in CBB scheduling in this day in age (as has been discussed at length on here) but surely there is a low major D1 team they can play who will at least count towards their metrics. This team is at the point now where I could see them competing in the A10 and with some luck they could make a run at the A10 title. They don't need to be playing bad D2 teams and it would be a shame to see them have their postseason chances/seeding affected by playing games like this.
With all that complaining over with, I think the MTE is exciting. I always love to see games against P5 schools and SIU and Charlotte are no slouches either. Should be a fun year
