AKRON, Ohio – With the 37thseason of competition just three months away for the Akron women's basketball team, head coach Melissa Jackson announced the non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2019-20 season.
"Our entire program is excited for the 19-20 season to tip. Our squad has a great mix of experienced veterans and talented youth. This non-conference slate will challenge that group and prepare us for the best mid-major conference in the country."
The 2019-20 non-conference schedule is highlighted by five home games, hosting the Akron Classic, a test with Big Ten opponent, Michigan, and participating in the 2019 Women's Basketball Winter Break Puerto Rico Clasico.
In the first five weeks of the season, Akron takes on 11 non-conference opponents including five inside James A. Rhodes Arena and six contests away from Akron, Ohio.
The first tip of the 2019-20 is slated for Sunday, Nov. 10, at 1 p.m. when Akron travels to Bonaventure, N.Y. to take on the St. Bonaventure Bonnies.
Three straight home games are on deck for the Zips after starting the season on the road. For the fourth time in the last six years, Akron will host the Akron Classic on Nov. 15-16. The Zips take on Purdue Fort Wayne (Nov. 15) to open the Classic before taking on Michigan (Nov. 16) to close out the weekend. Four days later, Nov. 20, Akron welcomes Youngstown State to the JAR to conclude its longest homestand of the non-conference schedule.
Akron is on the road in back-to-back contests on Nov. 23 at Detroit and at Cleveland State on Nov. 27.
Dec. 4 marks the seventh-annual Education Day at James A. Rhodes Arena as the Zips take on Duquesne at 10:30 a.m.
In the final four games of the non-league schedule, Akron is on the road at Butler (Dec. 8), hosts North Carolina A&T, and then heads to warm weather as the Zips take part in the 2019 Women's Basketball Winter Break Puerto Rico Clasico hosted by 'Puerto Rico College Sports Tours' where Akron will face off against Denver (Dec. 20) and Morgan State (Dec. 21).
