WORCESTER, Mass. – Holy Cross women's basketball head coach Candice Green has announced the Crusaders' non-conference schedule for the upcoming 2025-26 season, which is slated to begin on Monday, Nov. 3. A trip to 20-time ACC champion Duke headlines the out-of-league slate, which will include five games in the Hart Center at the Luth Athletic Complex. 

The Crusaders open the season on the road with an intrastate matchup at Boston College (Nov. 3). Holy Cross then travels to Duke, which reached the Elite Eight in 2025, for their first matchup with the Blue Devils since March 18, 2007. 

The 13-time Patriot League champions host Brown for their home opener on Nov. 12 before traveling to Marist (Nov. 16) and Rhode Island (Nov. 19). The Crusaders return to the Hart Center to close out the month against Massachusetts (Nov. 25) and New Hampshire (Nov. 30). 

Holy Cross will kick off December on the road at Harvard (Dec. 3) and Bryant (Dec. 7). The team returns to the friendly confines of the Hart Center for a pair of tilts with Vermont (Dec. 16) and Massachusetts-Lowell (Dec. 21) to close the non-league slate.

Holy Cross has won two of the last three Patriot League Tournament Championships. The Patriot League schedule will be announced in the coming weeks. Stay tuned to Holy Cross basketball social media channels for updates on the sale of season tickets for the 2025-26 season.
