2018-19 Schedule
The defending Ivy League Champion has announced its 2018-19 schedule, head coach Courtney Banghart announced.
Â
"This season's schedule is a test at every turn," mentioned the 2018 Ivy Coach of the Year. "We have scheduled multiple programs that Princeton has never beaten, as well as regional powerhouses and highly competitive programs from the best conferences in the country. By design, most of our non-conference opponents are teams that played in the postseason last year, and all are programs that we have great respect for in that they have talented players and are well coached. We feel that in order to be the best, we have to beat the best and we're excited for the challenges and opportunities ahead. The preseason will certainly challenge us as we prepare to hunt for a repeat run for the Ivy Championship."
Â
The 2018-19 season gets underway with a quick trip to Rider (Nov. 6). Later that week, Princeton makes the excursion south to Washington, D.C., to take on George Washington (Nov. 11). The Colonials were the Atlantic-10 Champions last season. Princeton's home opener is against Seton Hall (Nov. 14). Banghart's squad travels to Penn State, a 2018 WNIT team, before the Cancun Challenge (Nov. 22-24).

Princeton faces DePaul on Thanksgiving (Nov. 22) beginning at 11 a.m. DePaul has made the NCAA Tournament in every season since 2002-03. The Tigers battles Syracuse the next day (Nov. 23) at 1:30 p.m. The ACC foe has reached the Big Dance in each of the last six years. Kansas State and Princeton wrap up the Challenge on Nov. 24 at 11 a.m. Kansas State has also made the NCAA Tournament in two of the past three seasons.
Â
A common foe over the past two years, Villanova welcomes Princeton on Nov. 28 before two home contests vs. Davidson (Dec. 2) and Quinnipiac (Dec. 8). Villanova and Quinnipiac each advanced to the second round of the 2018 NCAA Tournament.

Yale (Feb. 8) and Brown (Feb. 9) come to Jadwin before the Tigers head to Harvard (Feb. 15) and Dartmouth (Feb. 16).
