EUGENE (Interstat) — Oregon opens its women’s NCAA Division I basketball season Monday against Hawaii at Matthew Knight Arena in a nonconference matchup between teams that enter with 0-0 records. The Ducks will be the home team, while the Warriors are the visiting team. The game will mark the first contest of the season for both programs and will be played on Oregon’s home court.

Oregon’s most recent previous result was a 100-58 loss at Texas. Hawaii’s most recent previous result was a 60-48 loss at UC San Diego. Both programs will be looking to begin the new season on a positive note after those closing setbacks. The Ducks will try to establish an early rhythm at home, while the Warriors will seek a strong start to a demanding nonconference schedule.

Hawaii will continue its early schedule with a road game at San Francisco before returning home for matchups against Saint Mary’s and Loyola Marymount. The Warriors also have home contests ahead against San Diego State, Columbia, Stanford, Chaminade and Pepperdine, with games against California and Gonzaga scheduled for Lahaina, Hawaii. Hawaii also is set to play at Pepperdine later in its nonconference slate. Those contests will give Hawaii a mix of home and neutral-site opportunities as it builds through the opening weeks of the season.

Oregon’s upcoming slate includes a home game against Washington State before road games at Grand Canyon, Vermont and Maine. The Ducks also are scheduled to host Murray State and Fairfield and will play Maryland-Eastern Shore, Colorado and Georgia in Goodyear, Mexico, before hosting Southern. Oregon will aim to use its home court and depth to control tempo, while Hawaii will try to stay compact defensively and limit second-chance opportunities in an early-season test for both teams. The matchup will provide an early look at how each rotation handles the opening stages of the season.

The Warriors’ Lahaina games against California and Gonzaga will be played at a neutral site, while their home contests against Saint Mary’s, Loyola Marymount, San Diego State, Columbia, Stanford and Chaminade will keep them at home for much of the nonconference schedule. Oregon’s early slate features a mix of home games and travel, including the three-game set in Mexico. The Ducks will face Washington State at home and then take to the road for three consecutive games before returning for two home dates.
