EVANSVILLE - As the 2022-23 season quickly approaches, University of Evansville head women's basketball coach Robyn Scherr-Wells has announced her team's non-conference slate.

"The basketball season is almost upon us and I am excited for our fans to see the hard work our players have continued to put in," said Scherr-Wells on the upcoming season. "I feel our non-conference schedule gives us a competitive slate versus regional opponents and not only opportunities to see the Aces at home, but hopefully some games on the road too. Five of our games are against opponents we faced last year and we have the opportunity to play two Big 10 teams on the road which will prepare us well for MVC play."

Featuring a mix of Power 5 and regional opponents the 10-game schedule includes an equal split of games played inside Meeks Family Fieldhouse and on the road. Season tickets start at just $50 for the 2022-23 campaign with floor seats available for just $100. Men's Basketball season ticket holders can get general admission season tickets for a special price of $25. Fans can purchase tickets by contacting the ticket office at 812-488-2237.

The Aces get the 2022-23 campaign underway on Saturday, October 29th with an exhibition contest against Roosevelt University (Ill.) inside Meeks. The game will represent a reuniting of sorts as Scherr-Wells welcomes the university where she held her first head coaching position and won two conference championships
