PHOENIX (Interstat) — The Grand Canyon women’s basketball team will look to rebound from a season-opening loss when it hosts the undefeated Idaho State Bengals on Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, at GCU Arena.

The Antelopes (0-1) are coming off a 94-54 road defeat against a powerful South Carolina team this past Monday. Ale’Jah Douglas led Grand Canyon with 16 points, while Chloe Mann added 15 points.

They will face an Idaho State squad (1-0) that opened its season with a dominant 99-47 victory over Westminster on Tuesday. The Bengals’ offense was firing on all cylinders, led by Tasia Jordan’s 26 points. Piper Carlson recorded a double-double with 13 points and 11 rebounds, and Maeva Gauffrenet chipped in 16 points and five assists.

The game presents a classic early-season matchup of a team seeking its first win against one riding the momentum of a commanding performance. Grand Canyon will aim to tighten its defense after allowing 94 points, while Idaho State will look to carry its explosive offensive output on the road.

This is the first game of a challenging road stretch for Idaho State, which plays nine of its next 10 games away from home. Grand Canyon continues a tough opening slate before returning to Phoenix to host SMU on Nov. 18.

Tip-off is set for Saturday at Grand Canyon University Arena.
