Mount Saint Mary women’s basketball is going to get a taste of Puerto Rico ahead of the Christmas holiday.<\/p>\n
The Knights will take on the University of Redlands, from California, on December 17 and upstate Alfred University on Dec. 18 in the D3 Clasico – that event will host 17 NCAA Division III women’s teams from Dec. 16-30.<\/p>\n
The defending Skyline Conference playoff champs, the Mount will open the third season for head coach Marion Dietz on Nov. 7 at SUNY New Paltz. SUNY Brockport visits the Kaplan Center for the first of a dozen home games on Nov. 14.<\/p>\n
The Mount will host fellow NCAA Div. III tourney participant Vassar on Nov. 29.<\/p>\n
Last season Mount Saint Mary was 15-5 and finished second in the Skyline. The Knights (17-11) beat Mount Saint Vincent in the semifinals and won at top-seeded U.S. Merchant Marine Academy 81-76 in the final. In the NCAAs, the Mount bowed at powerhouse Scranton 93-35.<\/p>\n
The Knights will be considerably younger in 2025-26, with seven incoming freshmen and six upperclassmen.<\/p>\n
The Knights will host Merchant Marine on Jan. 15 and play at the Mariners on Feb. 4.<\/p>\n
The Mount has not won consecutive Skyline playoff titles since 2011 and 2012, the last of 12 titles won under former coach Randy Ognibene.<\/p>\n
