MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. – RMU Women's Basketball Head Coach Chandler McCabe has unveiled the Colonials' 2025-26 schedule, highlighted by 20 Horizon League matchups and nine non-conference contests. The non-league slate features several local rivals, including Pitt, Duquesne, Saint Francis, Cal U, and Point Park.
 
"We're extremely excited to continue building a local fan base with local stars on our roster," said McCabe. "We believe this competitive non-conference schedule will prepare us for the challenges of Horizon League play and position us to compete for a championship."
 
RMU opens its 49th season of NCAA Division I women's basketball on the road at UIC on Monday, Nov. 3—the programs' first meeting since 2022. The Colonials' home opener follows on Friday, Nov. 7, when Akron visits the UPMC Events Center. RMU then battles three straight in-state foes in Saint Francis, Duquesne, and Pitt.

Horizon League action begins Sunday, Dec. 7, at Northern Kentucky before the Colonials host Detroit Mercy on Tuesday, Dec. 16. RMU finishes December with four straight home contests, including Point Park and Oakland.
