The Cougars will take on a competitive blend of regional non-conference opponents and a full 22-game Pacific West Conference slate as they aim to make their mark under new leadership.<\/p>\nAPU\u00a0tips off the season Nov. 14-15 at the Conference Crossover in Pomona, facing Chico State and Cal Poly Pomona on back-to-back nights. It\u00a0returns home Nov. 26 for their home opener against Cal State San Marcos at the Felix Event Center before welcoming Cal State San Bernardino on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n
The PacWest schedule begins Dec. 2 with a home matchup against Menlo, followed by key December home contests against Chaminade (Dec. 17) and Point Loma (Dec. 20).\u00a0January features a heavy slate of conference action, highlighted by a rivalry clash with Biola on Jan. 8 in Azusa.
