BATON ROUGE, LA -- The Southern University women's basketball team has released their complete 2022-2023 schedule. This year's schedule includes 11 nonconference games to kick the season off and a conference schedule.

The Jags first game will be just to the left of us as they travel to Iowa to for two games against Iowa on November 7^thand Iowa State on November 10^th. Following that, SU will return home to the capital city to take on Oregon on November 14^th to open home play inside the F. G. Clark Activity Center. On November 17^th the Jags will travel to Natchitoches, La to face Northwestern State University before heading back to home to take on LSU Shreveport on November 21^st. 
 
After an almost two-week break women's basketball will then travel to Corvallis, OR to take Oregon State to kick off the month of December on December 1^st, then head to the University of Texas on December 4^th.

A contest at Wichita State on December 16^th then onto Norman, Oklahoma to face the Oklahoma University to conclude the rest of their nonconference schedule until SWAC play begins.

"As always we play a really tough non-conference schedule and nothing has changed this year. We open the season versus Iowa and the nation's leading scorer Caitlin Clark. We will also play several other teams from the Big 12 as well as the Pac 12. This year we were able to schedule two in-state schools in Northwestern State and Tulane, said Carlos Funchess, Southern Women's Basketball Head Coach. One of our biggest non-conference games of the year will be on November 14th when we host the University of Oregon here at the FG Clark Activity Center. Overall I think we have a solid non-conference schedule that will help prepare us for our conference".
