ALBANY, N.Y. (Interstat) — The Marist Red Foxes and Albany Great Danes will tip off their 2025-26 women’s basketball seasons against each other on Tuesday, Nov. 4, at SEFCU Arena.

Both teams enter the contest with 0-0 records, looking to start anew after challenging conclusions to their previous campaigns. The game marks the official start for both programs under the NCAA’s new calendar.

Marist seeks to rebound from a 65-68 loss to Mount Saint Mary’s in its final game of the 2024-25 season last March. Albany also aims to put a difficult 40-69 defeat at Saint Joseph’s from the same period firmly in the past.

The intrastate matchup serves as the opener of an 11-game slate for the Red Foxes, which includes a notable non-conference trip to face LSU in the U.S. Virgin Islands on Nov. 28. For the Great Danes, it begins a stretch of 10 games before conference play, featuring a road test at Syracuse on Nov. 7.

The opening tip is scheduled for 7 p.m. Eastern.
