BABSON PARK, Mass.— After increasing its wins total the past two seasons and finishing runner-up in the New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) regular season race, Babson College fourth-year head women's basketball coach Kate Barnosky officially released her team's 2026-27 schedule on Thursday afternoon.

The Beavers will face a challenging schedule this winter, taking on three teams that competed in the 2026 NCAA Tournament. Highlights to the ledger include a trip to Irving, Texas for a pair of games the second weekend in November, and hosting Wesleyan and last year's NCAA Tournament team Cortland in the annual Judy Pearson '85 Memorial Tournament at Staake Gymnasium on December 30-31.

The Green and White tip off the campaign with a pair of home games against Roger Williams on November 6 and Stevens on November 8. The team heads to Texas to take on the University of Dallas on November 13 and Rhodes (Tenn.) on November 14 before back-to-back games in Providence, R.I., against Rhode Island College on November 20 and Bates on November 21.

After a quick Thanksgiving break, the Beavers will be home for a pair of games against Endicott on November 29 and Bridgwater State on December 3. Three more games dot the schedule before the break for final exams and the holidays, at local rival Brandeis on December 5, at Trinity on December 9 and home against Norwich on December 12.

After the holiday hiatus, Babson is back on the court for the Judy Pearson '85 Tournament, hosting Wesleyan on December 30 and Cortland on December 31. The final non-conference game is slated for January 4 at Tufts.

The NEWMAC slate opens at Springfield on January 13, followed by home encounters vs. Coast Guard on January 20 and MIT on January 23. The month of January wraps up with visits to WPI on the 27th and Mount Holyoke on the 30th.

After hosting Emerson on the third to begin the month of February, the Beavers travel to local rival Wellesley on the 6th and Salve Regina on the 10th. The regular season wraps up with a home encounter vs. Clark on February 13, the last road game against defending champion Smith on February 17, and Senior Day against Wheaton on February 20.

The eight-team NEWMAC Tournament begins on February 24 with quarterfinal action. The top two remaining seeds will host semifinal contests on February 26 with the winners advancing the championship game at the highest seed on February 28. The NEWMAC champion receives an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III Championship Tournament.

The Beavers finished with an 18-9 overall record last season and second place with a 9-2 mark against conference foes before falling to Clark in the NEWMAC semifinals.
