HOUGHTON — The Michigan Tech women’s basketball program has officially unveiled its schedule for the 2025-26 season, featuring 13 home games set to take place at the SDC Gymnasium. The season is slated to kick off on October 26, with postseason play commencing in March.
Last season, the Huskies concluded with a record of 12 wins and 17 losses, achieving 9 wins against 11 losses in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), under the guidance of Head Coach Sam Clayton, who is entering her eighth season at the helm.
Nonconference Schedule
The opening game of the season will see the Huskies travel to East Lansing, Michigan, to face Michigan State in an exhibition match on October 26. Notably, former Michigan Tech player Kim Cameron, now an assistant coach for the Spartans, will be on the sidelines, alongside Maria Kasza, a former player who transitioned to coaching under Cameron after her time at Michigan Tech.
Continuing their tradition, the Huskies will participate in the JustAGame Crossover in Wisconsin Dells, facing Lewis on November 14 and Upper Iowa on November 15. Additionally, they will face four Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) teams, hosting Minnesota Duluth on November 20 and St. Cloud State the following day, before traveling to play Concordia-St. Paul on November 28 and Winona State on November 29.
Before the year ends, Michigan Tech will play two more nonconference games, starting with a trip to Missouri-St. Louis on December 13, followed by a home game against Northwood on December 19.
GLIAC Conference Play
The conference schedule consists of 20 games, with league play opening on December 4 as the Huskies head to Roosevelt, followed by another away game at Wisconsin-Parkside on December 6. As the New Year begins, Michigan Tech will host a four-game homestand starting with a match against the defending national champions, Grand Valley State, on January 1, followed by games against Davenport (January 3), Northern Michigan (January 8), and Ferris State (January 10).
Throughout January and February, the schedule includes alternating home and away matchups. The Huskies will face road opponents such as Saginaw Valley State on January 15 and Lake Superior State on January 17, along with return trips to Davenport and Grand Valley State on January 29 and 31, respectively. Home games during this period will include contests against Wayne State (January 22), Purdue Northwest (January 24), and Lake Superior State (February 5) among others.
As the season draws to a close, Michigan Tech will be on the road again for two consecutive weekends, with games scheduled against Purdue Northwest, Wayne State, Northern Michigan, and Ferris State. The regular season will culminate at the SDC Gym, where the Huskies will host Wisconsin-Parkside on February 26 and Roosevelt on February 28.
