SOUTH ORANGE, N.J. — Fresh off a BIG EAST regular season title and its first NCAA Tournament appearance since 1995, the Seton Hall women’s basketball team has unveiled its 11-game non-conference schedule for the 2015-16 season. The Hall will host five non-conference opponents at historic Walsh Gymnasium and face six teams that played in the NCAA Tournament or WNIT in 2015.
“It’s a tremendous schedule,” reigning BIG EAST and Metropolitan Basketball Writers Association Coach of the Year Anthony Bozzella said.
The non-conference schedule includes opponents from the ACC, Big 10 and SEC conferences and is highlighted by a trip to the 2015 Cancun Challenge in late November. See below for a breakdown of each non-conference opponent, and click HERE for the full non-conference schedule.
2015-16 Seton Hall women’s basketball season tickets are $45 per person. To purchase, please call the Seton Hall Athletics Ticket Office at (973) 275-HALL (4255) or email tickets@shu.edu.
