SAN ANTONIO - The University of the Incarnate Word women's basketball program announces their 2021-22 schedule. The Cardinals begin their season on Thursday, November 11 at 8 p.m. at University of Texas El Paso.
 
UIW will play ten non-conference foes before heading to the first ever Southland Conference Tip-Off, a pre-conference tournament in Katy, Texas, to kickoff conference play.
 
The Cardinals are coming off a 4-5 conference record and a 6-9 overall record as they head into their third season under head coach Jeff Dow.  
 
"We're excited about the schedule that we're facing for this upcoming season. We have a few non-conference games against teams that we faced last year in UTSA, UTEP, TCU and Texas Tech, but we'll also be starting up a two-year series with some new opponents in UTRGV, New Mexico State and Tarleton State," head coach Jeff Dow said. "Plus, we'll be competing in the inaugural Southland Conference pre-season tournament January 3-5. We should definitely be prepared going into conference play by competing against a wide assortment of teams that will challenge us significantly not only with their talent, but also with their diverse styles of play."
