DETROIT (8-4-25) – First-year Head Coach
Kiefer Haffey announced the Detroit Mercy women's basketball 2025-26 non-conference schedule, which includes nine total games with five home contests highlighted by contests against in-state opponents, Michigan, Central Michigan, and Eastern Michigan at Calihan Hall.
Detroit Mercy hosts Lawrence Tech for the third consecutive Field Trip Day exhibition game (11/3 – 11 a.m.), followed by the home opener against former Horizon League foe Valparaiso (11/8 – 1 p.m.). Last season, UDM's 79-71 win at Valparaiso snapped a three-game skid, giving the Titans their first win over the Beacons since an 85-60 decision on Dec. 29, 2016.
Detroit Mercy travels to Toledo (11/16) for the first of three games against opponents from the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The Titans return to Calihan Hall to host in-state rival Central Michigan (3/19 – 7 p.m.).
UDM will then play a pair of historic games against Big Ten competition. For the first time since Dec. 11, 1988, the Titans travel North to play at Wisconsin (11/23). After the trip to Madison, Wisc., the Titans return home for a battle against Michigan (11/26 – 5 p.m.), marking the first time since Nov. 19, 2018, the Wolverines visited Calihan Hall.
Detroit Mercy concludes MAC competition against Eastern Michigan (11/30 – 1 p.m.). Last season's 72-61 win over EMU was the Titans' second consecutive win over the Eagles since the 2012-13 season and secured a 3-0 season sweep of all three MAC opponents in EMU, Western Michigan, and Bowling Green.
UDM then travels to New Orleans to open play at the Tulane Holiday Tournament against Mercer (12/20). The Titans will then play the winner of host Tulane or Delaware State (12/21).
After the holiday break, Detroit Mercy concludes the non-conference slate against Rochester Christian (Dec. 29 - TBA) at Calihan Hall.
