PITTSBURGH (Interstat) — The Pittsburgh and Drexel women’s basketball teams will look to put last season’s finishes behind them when they open their 2025-26 campaigns against each other Tuesday night at Petersen Events Center.

Both the Panthers and Dragons enter the nonconference matchup with 0-0 records. The game marks the official start for both programs after their 2024-25 seasons ended in defeat.

Drexel seeks to rebound from a 76-54 loss to William & Mary in the Colonial Athletic Association tournament on March 15, 2025. Pittsburgh also looks to start fresh after closing its previous season with a 64-50 loss at Virginia on March 5, 2025.

The contest will be the first of an 11-game stretch for the Dragons before the new year, which includes a trip to Marist on Friday. For the Panthers, it begins a schedule featuring eight consecutive home games, with Mount Saint Mary’s visiting on Saturday.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. EST in Pittsburgh.
