Atlantic 10 Announces 2021-22 Women’s Basketball Schedule
The Women’s Basketball team turned out in full force for this year’s cake race. Today they learned what their on-court A-10 schedule will be.
NEWPORT NEWS, Va. — The Atlantic 10 Conference announced the schedule for the 2021-22 women’s basketball season on Tuesday, and all 112 conference games will be aired on television or ESPN+.
The A-10’s 14 programs will each play a 16-game slate, meeting three opponents both at home and away, while also playing five league foes only at home and five solely on the road. Conference action will tip off on New Year’s Day with all 14 teams competing, while league play will conclude at the A-10 championship March 2-6, with all 13 tournament games to be broadcast on either ESPN+, CBS Sports Network or ESPNU.
As head coach Gayle Fulks enters her fifth year at the helm of the Davidson women’s basketball program, the Wildcats will look to build off their 30-33 (.476) A-10 record in her tenure.
Tipping off league play on Jan. 1, the ‘Cats will welcome the Fordham Rams into John M. Belk Arena and then bookend the A-10 season with a return trip to the Bronx to meet the Rams inside their own Rose Hill Gymnasium on Feb. 26. Saint Joseph’s (Jan. 5 & Feb. 6) and George Washington (Jan. 26 & Feb. 23) will also share a home-and-home series with Davidson, as last year, the Wildcats downed the Hawks for the first time in program history and split the series 1-1 with the Colonials.
Across the two-month stretch, Davidson will also travel to Richmond, St. Bonaventure, Rhode Island, Saint Louis and La Salle and host Duquesne, VCU, Dayton, George Mason and Massachusetts on McKillop Court.
After finishing last season 9-14 overall, the Wildcats return a strong senior class in Chloe Welch, Cassidy Gould and Sarah Konstans. Through 16 games in her junior year, Welch had an explosive 16.2 points per game average, while Gould averaged 10.6 points per game and started in all 23 contests. A native to Dallas, Texas, Konstans returns as the Wildcats’ top rebounder, averaging 6.3 boards per game and recorded two double-doubles during the 2020-21 season.
