MILWAUKEE, Wis. – The Milwaukee women's basketball team announced its non-conference scheduled for the 2019-20 season on Tuesday. The Panthers' schedule features six home matchups and three Big Ten opponents on the road.
 
"We, as a staff, are thrilled with the tough non-conference schedule we have put together for our team," head coach Kyle Rechlicz commented. "We have a lot of returners who have played high-level minutes and I know they will be up for the challenge."

Game times and television broadcast information will be available at a later date.
 
Rechlicz continued, "We will be road-tested early in the season and then we can't wait to see the Klotsche Center packed with fans in December."
 
Milwaukee welcomes Viterbo University to their home court for an exhibition on October 30. The V-Hawks finished 9-19 a season ago under first-year head coach Lionel Jones.
 
The 49th season of Panthers women's basketball will then open at the Klotsche Center, as Milwaukee hosts UW-Parkside November 6, the earliest contest date in school history. The Panthers hosted the Rangers in two of the past three seasons for an exhibition, winning both contests.
 
Milwaukee will then hit the road to face a trio of Big Ten opponents, beginning with Purdue on November 10. This marks the first time since 2010-11 that the Panthers face at least three Big Ten opponents during the regular season.
 
Following a November 14 matchup with Minnesota, the Big Ten road trip concludes on November 17 as Milwaukee visits the Kohl Center for their 24th meeting with Wisconsin. The Panthers have won two of the last three contests with their in-state rival.
 
On November 20, Milwaukee returns home to host Arkansas Pine Bluff, the first-ever matchup between the two teams.
 
Last year's Big East Champion, DePaul, will host the Panthers in Chicago on November 25 before Milwaukee treks to New York for a November 30 matchup against Columbia University.
 
The Panthers get plenty of home cooking in December as the non-conference schedule closes with four straight at the Klotsche Center including a December 8 bout against Marquette. This year marks the seventh consecutive with a matchup against the Golden Eagles and 26th overall.
 
Bowling Green (Dec. 14) and North Dakota (Dec. 21) head to Milwaukee on consecutive Saturdays to wrap up non-conference play before the Panthers get into Horizon League competition.
