ALBANY, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Siena Saints and Colgate Raiders will open their 2025-26 women’s basketball seasons against each other when they meet Tuesday at Times Union Center.

Both teams enter the new campaign looking to turn the page from season-ending losses in March. Colgate concluded its previous year with a 58-48 home loss to Coppin State on March 22. Siena last took the court on March 21, falling 72-62 on the road at Howard.

The matchup serves as the opener for a new slate for both programs. For Colgate, it begins a challenging non-conference stretch that includes a trip to UC Irvine and a road game against in-state power Syracuse on Dec. 10. The Raiders will play their first five games away from Hamilton.

Siena also faces a rigorous early schedule, with four of its first five contests on the road. Following the home opener against Colgate, the Saints will travel to face Massachusetts, Army and Rutgers in November.

Tip-off is set for 7 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 4.
