"I am pleased with the way our schedule worked out," Kucera said. "This schedule is tough, but there are fantastic competition opportunities out there for us. I love that we secured 12 home matches. I can't wait for Panther Nation to see our team compete; they are a fun group to watch."
 
The schedule includes non-conference matchups with both Wisconsin and Marquette and will conclude with the Horizon League Championships in late April.
 
"On top of that, it's thrilling to have both Wisconsin and Marquette on the schedule," Kucera said. "In-state rivalries are important, and we are fortunate to have two quality opponents for in-state rivals. Most importantly though, this schedule will allow us to grow throughout the spring and to be at our best during Horizon League play. We can't wait to get out there and represent the Black and Gold!"
 
The season opener is set for Jan. 22, hosting Hillsdale in a doubleheader.
 
The team will then close out the month in Ohio, taking on Miami (OH) Jan. 28 and Dayton Jan. 29.
