GREELEY, Colo. – Northern Colorado announced an exciting and challenging 2024 schedule Friday.
"We are excited about the schedule we have put together," head coach Lyndsey Oates said. "It is a great balance of teams that will really challenge us and teams that will help us build confidence."
The Bears face the other four NCAA Division I programs in Colorado, six matches against Power-5 schools and seven teams that appeared in the 2023 postseason.
"I am most excited about playing all 4 of the Colorado schools in one season," Oates said. "Unfortunately, all of those will be on the road, but it will be great to get in front of alums, recruits and Bear fans from across the state. Our team had a great off-season and is really looking forward a great fall!"
UNC hosts 15 matches in 2024, including seven of its first eight matches, beginning with an exhibition against Arizona (Aug. 24). The Bears kick off the regular season with back-to-back contests against Michigan State (Aug. 30) and Florida (Aug. 31). The Gators qualified for the NCAA Tournament last season and advanced to the second round.
Following a trip to Fort Collins, Colorado, for a clash with Colorado State (Sept. 3), the Bears return to Bank of Colorado Arena for four games. They take on Ole Miss and Rider twice in the UNC Classic, Sept. 5-7, with the Rebels and Broncs facing each other once.
UNC hits the road for seven straight contests, beginning with Colorado in Boulder, Colorado, Sept. 11. The Bears face Air Force (Sept. 13) and Denver (Sept.14) in the Pioneers Tournament.
They wrap up the non-conference schedule Sept. 19-21, in Wichita, Kansas, at Wichita State's tournament. UNC opens against Omaha (Sept. 19), before facing Wichita State (Sept. 20) and Cal Poly (Sept. 20).
The Bears play home and home series in Big Sky Conference action against seven of the other nine opponents, with solo contests against Montana State and Weber State.
Big Sky Conference home slate: Idaho State (Sept. 28), Montana (Oct. 17), Montana State (Oct. 19), Northern Arizona (Nov. 1), Sacramento State (Nov. 7), Portland State (Nov. 9), Idaho (Nov. 21) and Eastern Washington (Nov. 23).
Big Sky Conference road slate: Montana (Sept. 26), Northern Arizona (Oct. 4), Portland State (Oct. 10), Sacramento State (Oct. 12), Eastern Washington (Oct. 25), Idaho (Oct. 26), Idaho State (Nov. 14) and Weber State (Nov. 16).
