Main Story: No. 15 Concordia-St. Paul opens its 2026-27 women’s basketball season with two home exhibition games: Hamline on Oct. 29 and Augsburg on Nov. 3. Both tip off at 6:30 p.m. The Golden Bears enter the season after a 26-7 campaign and a run to the NCAA Central Region Championship game.

By the Numbers
  • 15th: CSP’s spot in the first 2026-27 WBCA Division II coaches’ poll.
  • 26-7: CSP’s record last season, including an 18-game winning streak.
  • 75.9: CSP’s average points per game last season; opponents averaged 65.7.
  • 6:30 p.m.: Tipoff time for both exhibitions.
Yes, But

These are exhibition games, so they’re a season-opening look at the Golden Bears rather than regular-season results. CSP has historically dominated both opponents, but its last meeting with Hamline was in 1995 and its last with Augsburg was in 1996.

What's Next

CSP hosts Hamline on Oct. 29, then Augsburg on Nov. 3. Fans can buy tickets online in advance; game-day ticket purchases are card-only and include additional fees.

Bottom Line

The exhibitions launch a season with high expectations for a CSP team that returns to the court ranked No. 15 after a 26-win run and a regional championship appearance.
