PROVO, Utah (Interstat) — The San Jose State Spartans will open their 2025-26 women’s basketball season on the road against the BYU Cougars on Saturday, Nov. 8.

The game at the Marriott Center pits a Spartans team yet to play a game this season against a Cougars squad that opened with a dominant 91-57 victory over Coastal Carolina on Wednesday.

San Jose State last played on March 9, 2025, concluding its previous season with a 67-62 loss at Fresno State. The Spartans will look to returning players like Lara Rohkohl, who recorded a double-double with 13 points and 10 rebounds in that finale, and guard Sydney Benally, who dished 11 assists.

BYU’s season-opening win was fueled by a balanced attack and stifling defense, providing early momentum for the Cougars. The game marks the first of a challenging 10-game non-conference slate for the Spartans, who will host Bethesda on Monday.

BYU continues its homestand against Omaha on Nov. 13. Saturday’s contest is the first meeting between the two programs this season.
