The Butler women's basketball team and head coach Maria Marchesano have announced four more home games for the month of November.
​
After opening the season on Nov. 2 in a previously-announced game against Tennessee Tech, BU will then continue the opening week of the regular season by hosting Lipscomb Thursday, Nov. 5.
​
BU will take on North Dakota State at Hinkle Fieldhouse on Nov. 12 before hosting the Kent State Golden Flashes on Nov. 18. Butler will conclude its November home contests with a Sunday tip against Eastern Michigan on Nov. 22.
​
The Bulldogs have previously squared off with Lipscomb (1-0), Kent State (1-0) and Eastern Michigan (4-3), while the meeting against NDSU will be the first in program history between the two teams.
​
The tip times and television assignments for the match-ups will be announced at a later date. Additional games on Butler's non-conference schedule will be released soon.
 
Marchesano enters her first season leading the women's basketball program at her alma mater. Marchesano's 14-year head coaching career includes 234 wins across four stops, with the five most recent seasons at Purdue Fort Wayne. She was a four-year letterwinner at Butler, graduating in 2005. She finished her Butler career as the second-best three-point shooter in program history (41.8 percent).
 
The Bulldog roster is now set for the 2026-27 campaign with Saniya and Nevaeh Jackson returning for BU. Newcomers Karina Bystry and Tamar Singer will play a vital role for the Dawgs this season. Bystry, a Horizon League All-Freshman selection from NKU and Singer, a MAC All-Defensive team selection from a year ago, will look to make an immediate impact.
