2009-10 Detroit WBB Schedule (in pdf)

For the first time since the 2001-02 season, Detroit's women's basketball team will host both Michigan State and Michigan during the 2009-10 campaign, with the Titans opening up their home slate against the Spartans on Nov. 15. All-in-all UDM's schedule is comprised of six opponents that saw action in postseason play last year and 16 games on the schedule will be played at Calihan Hall.

Detroit will begin its season at Oakland (Nov. 13), which will mark the first meeting between these two teams since 2003 and the Grizzlies are one of the Titans' three opponents that participated in the 2009 Women's National Invitation Tournament (WNIT). Following a match-up with the Spartans, who advanced to the round of 16 of the 2009 NCAA Championship, UDM will host Canisius (Nov. 24), another WNIT participant.

It will be familiar faces for some on Dec. 19 when the Titans host Michigan as head coach Autumn Rademacher served as an assistant under the Wolverines' current head coach, Kevin Borseth, from 2004-07 when he was at the helm at Green Bay. Three days after facing U of M, the Titans will face Georgia in Athens, GA, which is another opponent that competed in the 2009 NCAA Championship. Last season, UDM made history as the Titans defeated the Bulldogs, ranked 23rd at the time, by a score of 70-66 at Calihan Hall.

UDM will open up Horizon League play at home on Jan. 3 against Wright State, and also wraps-up the conference regular season with the same opponent on Mar. 6. Cleveland State, which finished third in the league in 2009, will make an appearance at Calihan Hall on Jan. 30. UDM will then host Milwaukee on Feb. 6 and Green Bay two days later, which was the 2009 Horizon League regular season champion, as well as the tournament champion and also competed in the 2009 NCAA Championship.

The final conference regular season weekend at home for the Titans will be Butler (Feb. 18), which participated in the 2009 WNIT after finishing second in the league last year, and Valparaiso the following Saturday.

Detroit closed out the 2008-09 campaign with a 12-19 overall mark (7-11 HL) and finished eighth in the conference.
