FULLERTON, Calif. (Interstat) — The Cal State Fullerton and Pepperdine women’s basketball teams will open their 2025-26 seasons Tuesday night at Titan Gymnasium, each looking to reverse the outcome of their final game from last season.

The contest marks the official debut for both programs, as the Waves and Titans each enter with 0-0 records. It is the first of 11 non-conference games for both squads.

Pepperdine aims to shake off the memory of a 66-59 home loss to San Diego in its season finale on March 6. Cal State Fullerton also concluded its previous campaign with a defeat, falling 61-51 at UC Riverside on March 8.

The matchup kicks off a challenging slate for the Titans, who will host Cleveland State on Sunday before a two-game road trip to Denver and Sacramento State later in November. Pepperdine’s early schedule includes a home game against Westmont on Saturday followed by road tests at Utah Valley and Northern Arizona.

Tipoff is set for 7 p.m. PST in Fullerton.
