CINCINNATI – The University of Cincinnati women’s basketball team will open the 2025-26 season at home against Lehigh on Tuesday, Nov. 4 at 6:30 p.m. inside Fifth Third Arena.

The full 2025-26 schedule will be announced at a later date.

Cincinnati enters the 2025-26 campaign with eight newcomers, highlighted by a nationally recognized freshman class ranked No. 15 by ESPN. UC is coming off its first winning season in five years and returns key contributors, including junior guard Reagan Jackson, who ranked third on the team in scoring last season at 9.2 points per game.

"Cincinnati coach Katrina Merriweather has made a national splash for her program by landing multiple ESPNW Top 100 players in the 2025 class, including adding an aggressive punch to the Bearcat perimeter play."
