Jonesboro, AR – (Contributed) – Sept. 8, 2025 – Arkansas State women’s basketball head coach Destinee Rogers announced Monday the 2025-26 non-conference schedule, highlighted by five home games, two in-state road games, and an in-season tournament held in The Bahamas.

A home exhibition contest against Henderson State (Oct. 28) preludes the Red Wolves’ season opener against Ball State (Nov. 3) in the first leg of the MAC-SBC Challenge. A-State will make its road debut at Tarleton State (Nov. 7) before traveling up to Columbia, Mo. (Nov. 11) to face the Tigers of Missouri.

Coach Rogers’ crew returns to First National Bank Arena to host Little Rock (Nov. 15), then stays in state for a road battle at Central Arkansas (Nov. 19). Arkansas State will play a road game at Jackson State (Nov. 23) on the last Sunday before Thanksgiving. 

The Red Wolves will then compete on Nov. 28 and 30 in the Baha Mar Hoops Nassau Championship to close out November, with the first game scheduled to be against Houston and will play the winner of Kent State vs Tulsa.

December will begin with a three game homestand, hosting Florida Gulf Coast (Dec. 3), UT Martin (Dec. 6) and Southern Arkansas (Dec. 9). The Scarlet and Black will take on Arkansas in Fayetteville on Dec. 28 and will play the back end of the MAC-SBC Challenge on Feb. 7 against an opponent to be determined.

The 2025 Sun Belt Conference Tournament Champions finished with a 21-11 (15-3 SBC) record in 2024-25, appearing in the NCAA Tournament for the first time in program history.
