CAA Announces 2018-19 Women's Basketball Conference Schedule
Rob Washburn
RICHMOND, Va. (July 2, 2018) – The Colonial Athletic Association has announced its women’s basketball conference schedule for the 2018-19 campaign.
This season will be the first of a five-year rotating conference schedule that pairs each school with a travel partner. With the exception of the final weekend (Thursday/Saturday), teams will compete in a Friday/Sunday format that features back-to-back games at home or on the road. During the two weeks in which a team faces its travel partner, both squads will have a bye on Friday night before playing on Sunday.
Teams will once again conduct an 18-game league schedule with all 10 CAA teams facing each other at home and on the road. The regular-season slate opens on Friday, January 4 and concludes on Saturday, March 9.
The 2019 CAA Women’s Basketball Championship will be held March 13-16 at the Bob Carpenter Center on the campus of the University of Delaware in Newark, Del.
“Adopting the new schedule with travel partners allows for better balance and equality for all teams,” CAA Commissioner Joe D’Antonio said. “We continue to believe that the best way to begin the process of determining a true conference champion is by playing a true double round-robin format.”
In 2017-18, the CAA was ranked 10
th among the nation’s 32 Division I conferences in the final NCAA RPI and three teams were among the top 70. Five CAA teams participated in postseason play, which marked the 13
th consecutive year in which at least three conference squads earned postseason berths.
Four of the five members of the 2017-18 All CAA first team return this season – William & Mary senior guard Bianca Boggs, Delaware senior forward Nicole Enabosi, Northeastern senior guard Jess Genco and James Madison junior guard Kamiah Smalls. They are joined by second-team All-CAA honorees Lexie Barrier of James Madison and Bailey Greenberg of Drexel, as well as third-team all-conference picks Kelly Koshuta of James Madison and Nukiya Mayo of Towson.
