Syracuse, N.Y. – Le Moyne College Linda M. LeMura Endowed Head Women's Basketball Coach Nick DiPillo has revealed his team's 15-game non-conference schedule for the 2026-27 season, the department announced on Friday afternoon. The Dolphins have seven home and eight road games in the months of November and December.
 
The Dolphins will begin the season with a two-game trip to North Texas. They will visit SMU for the season opener on Tuesday, November 3. The Mustangs are coming off a 9-21 campaign, including 2-16 in their second season in the ACC. Two days later, the Dolphins head to Fort Worth to take on Texas Christian University, which enters the season with an NCAA-leading 44-game home winning streak. The Dolphins are facing both opponents for the first time, while SMU is Le Moyne's fourth ACC opponent since transitioning to Division I in 2023 and TCU is the second Big 12 foe.

The 'Phins play their home opener on Tuesday, November 10 against SUNY Geneseo.

The Dolphins hit the road for their next three games, the first two of which are in Florida. Their first game in the Sunshine State is against the University of Central Florida (UCF) on Friday the 13th. Three days later, the Dolphins head south to the University of Miami, which advanced to the second round of the WBIT. The Dolphins take on UCF and Miami for the first time, while the Knights (Big 12) and Hurricanes (ACC) are the second opponent from each conference on the slate. The team completes its November slate of road games on Saturday the 21st at Niagara University. The Dolphins and Purple Eagles have met on the hardwood eight times, all Niagara wins, most recently in the first round of the 2024 WNIT.

The Dolphins close out their November schedule with a pair of home games. In a return game from a meeting last year, the Dolphins welcome Bucknell University to Ted Grant Court on Tuesday the 24th. The Dolphins and Bison will tip off at 11:00 a.m. for the second straight year. Lafayette College then makes the trek north for a rematch of an overtime thriller on Sunday the 29th.

Le Moyne opens December with a pair of road contests against in-state foes. The Phins begin the month at Manhattan University on Wednesday the 2nd for the first-ever matchup with the Jaspers. Four days later, they visit Cornell University for the first time in 37 years looking to avenge a one-point overtime setback from last season.

The Dolphins return home for three games in seven days, the first two of which are previously-announced marquee matchups. The University of Kentucky comes to Ted Grant Court on Sunday the 13th and then Syracuse University makes the jaunt across town on Wednesday the 16th. Kentucky will be the first SEC opponent the Dolphins have faced and second SEC institution to ever come to the Heights for any sport (Florida, women's lacrosse, 2010), while the Orange will be the first ACC opponent to come to Ted Grant Court. The Dolphins host Colgate University for the second time in three years on Saturday the 19th to end the homestand.

The 'Phins wrap up their non-conference road schedule on Monday the 21st at St. Bonaventure University.

The Dolphins finish off non-conference play by hosting Marywood University on Wednesday the 30th.
