AAC Announces Schedule Pairings

Greenville, N.C. – The American Athletic Conference announced the women's basketball pairings for the 2019-20 season on Tuesday. All 12 league members will play a 16-game schedule, with each team playing five of its 11 opponents twice and six opponents once each, - three at home and three on the road.

The Pirates' conference schedule features home-and-home series against Houston, Memphis, SMU, Tulsa and Wichita State. ECU played five of those six teams twice during the 2018-19 campaign, with Houston being the only exception.

ECU will travel to take on UCF, USF and Cincinnati after that trio came to Greenville in 2018-19. The Pirates will host Connecticut, Temple and Tulane for their only regular season meetings. It will be the first time ECU has hosted defending AAC champion UConn since the 2017-18 season, when 3,781 fans (the 10th highest crowd in program history) filled Minges Coliseum.

The Pirates return eight players from the 2018-19 season, including leading scorers Lashonda Monk and Raven Johnson. Monk was named Third-Team All-AAC and set a new conference record in steals as the Pirates went 16-15 overall and 6-10 in the conference. In her first year in charge of the Pirates, head coach Kim McNeill has signed five talented newcomers to round out the roster.

Times, dates and broadcast information for the 2019-20 American Athletic Conference schedule will be release at a later date in addition to the complete ECU schedule.
