LOUISVILLE, Ky. — The Atlantic Sun Conference on Tuesday announced the conference slate for the 2025-26 women's basketball season.

Coming off a season filled with new Division I-era benchmarks, Bellarmine University is set for an 18-game ASUN schedule that is divided evenly between home and away contests. However, the front half is decidedly home-heavy (six of nine) while the back half is markedly road-heavy (six of nine, including the last three).

In Monique Reid's first season as head coach, Bellarmine will face the non-Florida schools (Austin Peay, Eastern Kentucky, Lipscomb, Central Arkansas, North Alabama, Queens, West Georgia) twice and the Florida programs (FGCU, Jacksonville, North Florida, Stetson) once.

Bellarmine will open ASUN play Jan. 1 by hosting Queens (10-19, 4-14 ASUN last season) and welcome West Georgia (13-17, 7-11; 9-seed) on Jan. 3. The Knights will hit the road for the first time in league action with contests Jan. 8 at Central Arkansas (23-10, 15-3; 2-seed) and Jan. 10 at North Alabama (13-17, 8-10; 6-seed).

Bellarmine will follow with its longest homestand — four games — of its ASUN slate. The Knights will welcome Austin Peay (13-18, 7-11; 10-seed) on Jan. 15, Eastern Kentucky (21-12, 10-8; 4-seed) on Jan. 17, North Florida (5-26, 1-17) on Jan. 22 and Jacksonville (14-17, 8-10; 7-seed) on Jan. 24.

In turn, Bellarmine's longest road stretch of its ASUN slate — also four games — ensues. The Knights will head to Queens on Jan. 29, West Georgia on Jan. 31, reigning ASUN regular season and tournament champion FGCU (30-3, 18-0; 1-seed) on Feb. 5 and Stetson (16-15, 10-8; 5-seed) on Feb. 7.

Bellarmine's last three conference home games are in a cluster, as the Knights will host Lipscomb (20-12, 12-6; 3-seed) on Feb. 12, Central Arkansas on Feb. 14 and North Alabama on Feb. 19.

Bellarmine will wrap up the regular season with three ASUN road games, as the Knights will travel to Austin Peay on Feb. 21, Lipscomb on Feb. 25 and Eastern Kentucky on Feb. 27.

Bellarmine set its standard in the NCAA's highest level last season with new D1-era program records for total wins (18), ASUN wins (eight), road wins (nine) and winning streak (six) while also winning its first-ever ASUN Tournament game.
