NORFOLK, Va. - Old Dominion women's basketball head coach DeLisha Milton-Jones announced the team's 2023-24 schedule on Tuesday. The Monarchs will play a total of 28 regular-season games, to include 15 at Chartway Arena and 18 against Sun Belt opponents.
"We're super excited about the challenging and competitive schedule that we have for this upcoming season," said Milton-Jones. "It has a nice array of talented programs that we will face. This season will prepare us for the rigors of the SBC and our fans will thoroughly enjoy our early season five-game homestand in Chartway. It will allow them to get accustomed to our revamped roster. Purchasing floor seats and season tickets will be well worth it to see the exciting and electric style of play that we will display."
After an exhibition game against NCAA Division III member Christopher Newport on Oct. 29, ODU opens the regular season at home versus Buffalo on Nov. 11. The contest is the first in a home-and-home series as part of the MAC-Sun Belt Challenge. The Monarchs will travel to a MAC program on Feb. 10, with their opponent to be announced in January based on the NET rankings at that time.
