The 2026-27 season and home opener for the Gonzaga Bulldogs women’s program is set against the North Dakota State Bison of The Summit League on Nov. 2. The time is yet to be announced.

The Zags opened up last season in Fargo, North Dakota, and handled the Bison in an 81-66 victory.

Coach Lisa Fortier and Gonzaga are entering their first season as members of the new Pac-12 Conference. The Zags are now preparing for a new slate of opponents, but some of them they’re already familiar with. The Zags lost to the Colorado State Rams 70-66 at home on Nov. 13, 2025. They also had multiple bouts with both the Washington State Cougars and budding rival Oregon State Beavers as members of the West Coast Conference last season.

For those in the area, you can RSVP for the program’s ‘Meet and Greet’ on Wednesday, August 5th, at 1:30 p.m. PT at the McCarthey Athletic Center with this link.
