FARGO, N.D. – Fifteen home games at the Scheels Center inside the Sanford Health Athletic Complex highlight the 2017-18 North Dakota State University women's basketball schedule unveiled on Tuesday, Aug. 8, by head coach Maren Walseth.

"Once again our staff did a great job putting together a balanced non-conference schedule. Five home games to start the season will hopefully give our young team confidence prior to hitting the road," Walseth said. "WNIT tournament participant Colorado will be a great test early in the year as well. Overall, the schedule will prepare us for conference play."
