BRONXVILLE, N.Y. — Coming off the best season in program history, the Sarah Lawrence College women's basketball team has announced its schedule for the 2026-27 season. The Gryphons will look to build on a historic 2025-26 campaign that saw the program earn its first postseason berth and finish with 14 victories.

Sarah Lawrence opens the new season at home on Saturday, Nov. 7, welcoming Lesley University to Campbell Sports Center for a noon tipoff. The Gryphons will continue their early-season home slate against Connecticut College on Nov. 14, Pratt Institute on Nov. 18, and Purchase College on Nov. 21 before hosting St. Joseph's University Brooklyn on Nov. 24.

The Gryphons will also face a challenging non-conference schedule, including road matchups against Kean University, the City College of New York, and other regional opponents, providing valuable competition ahead of the heart of Skyline Conference play.

The new campaign follows a landmark 2025-26 season in which Sarah Lawrence finished 14-12 overall and 11-9 in Skyline Conference play, securing a place in the conference tournament for the first time in program history. The Gryphons advanced to the Skyline Conference Tournament's first round, where they faced third-seeded Mount Saint Mary College.

The historic season was highlighted by record-setting performances on both ends of the floor. Sarah Lawrence established a new program record by shooting 41 percent from the field and set single-season program records for assists and steals. The team's efficient offense and aggressive defensive pressure helped fuel one of the biggest year-over-year turnarounds in NCAA Division III women's basketball.

Sarah Lawrence will resume competition after the winter break with a home matchup against SUNY Old Westbury on Wednesday, Jan. 6. The January schedule features key Skyline Conference contests against Manhattanville University, Merchant Marine, Mount Saint Mary College, St. Joseph's University Brooklyn, and Farmingdale State College.

The Gryphons will close out their regular-season home schedule with contests against Yeshiva University on Feb. 14 and St. Joseph's University Long Island on Feb. 17 before traveling to Old Westbury on Saturday, Feb. 20 for the regular-season finale.

The 2027 Skyline Conference Women's Basketball Championship is scheduled for Feb. 23-27, with the field and location to be determined.
