IRVING, Texas — The American Conference has announced the 2025-26 women's basketball pairings for the 18-game league schedule. Conference play begins Tuesday, Dec. 30, 2025, and will run through the weekend of March 7, 2026.
Of the Golden Hurricane's 12 American opponents, Tulsa will face six teams twice – once at home and once on the road – and take on the remaining six conference foes once in three home games and three away contests.
Tulsa plays home-and-home games against East Carolina, Florida Atlantic, Rice, Tulane, UTSA and Wichita State this upcoming season. TU will also host Memphis, Temple and UAB and travel to Charlotte, North Texas and South Florida for road contests.
For the first time in six years, the American Championship will be held at a different arena: Legacy Arena at the BJCC in Birmingham, Ala.
Head Coach Angie Nelp enters her fifth season at the helm coming off her fourth consecutive winning season at 17+ wins and third postseason appearance in four years.
Mady Cartwright and Jade Clack return to the Golden Hurricane for their junior seasons.
