The Ohio Wesleyan women’s basketball team is scheduled to play 8 games against North Coast Athletic Conference rivals during the 2020-21 season.

The Battling Bishops will play home-and-home series against NCAC members Denison, DePauw, Wittenberg and Wooster.

Ohio Wesleyan’s season opens on Thursday, Feb. 4, when the Bishops visit Denison. The return game is scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 6, in the women’s team’s first game in newly renovated Branch Rickey Arena.

The Bishops head to Springfield to face Wittenberg on Friday, Feb. 12, and host the Tigers on Saturday, Feb. 13.

After a bye week, Ohio Wesleyan returns to action on Friday, Feb. 26, at defending champion DePauw. The Tigers will come to Branch Rickey Arena on Sunday, Feb. 28.

The Bishops visit Wooster on Thursday, March 4, and close out the regular season by hosting the Fighting Scots on Saturday, March 6.

While the schedule consists entirely of NCAC opponents, these will not be considered conference games as the NCAC is not contesting winter sports championships in 2020-21.

It has not yet been determined whether spectators will be allowed at home games. Ohio Wesleyan is working with Delaware County health officials and attendance policies will be posted when available.
