With a mix of returning talent and fresh faces, the Mississippi Valley State University (MVSU) women's basketball team is ready to tip off an exciting 2024-2025 season. Head Coach Kimberly Anderson and her staff are preparing the team for a competitive schedule, featuring both challenging non-conference road games and key home matchups that will set the tone as they look to make a mark in the SWAC this season.

Non-Conference Highlights and Home Games

  • Home Opener Against Troy University (Dec. 1): MVSU fans will get their first look at the Devilettes in regular-season action at home when they host Troy. Known for its fast-paced, aggressive style, Troy will test MVSU's endurance and defensive setup.

  • Nicholls State University (Dec. 8): This home game provides an opportunity for MVSU to fine-tune their strategies. Facing off against a solid Nicholls team, the Delta Devils will look to capitalize on home-court energy and build momentum.

Non-Conference Road Tests

  • @ University of Memphis (Nov. 4) and @ Lipscomb University (Nov. 6): Starting the season with two challenging away games, the Devilettes will test their resilience early against these strong programs, setting the stage for the rest of their season.

  • @ Texas A&M (Dec. 19) and @ University of Mississippi (Dec. 21): These marquee matchups against SEC programs will be major tests for MVSU, both in terms of athleticism and depth. These games will push the Devilettes to showcase their skill set and improve their team cohesion under pressure.

Key SWAC Home Games

  • Texas Southern (Jan. 9) and Prairie View A&M (Jan. 11): MVSU opens their home conference play with back-to-back games against Texas Southern and Prairie View. Both games will be pivotal as early season conference clashes that could shape MVSU's SWAC standings.

  • Southern University (Jan. 23) and Grambling State (Jan. 25): January continues with two critical home games, where MVSU will look to establish a strong record on their home court. These matchups against conference rivals offer a chance to set a competitive tone.

  • Alabama State (Feb. 13) and Alabama A&M (Feb. 15): February's home stretch is a crucial period for MVSU as they face Alabama teams in back-to-back games. These matchups will be instrumental for MVSU's postseason aspirations and a potential SWAC tournament push.

Final Push and Season Finale

The Devilettes will close the regular season with three key home games, facing Arkansas-Pine Bluff (Mar. 1), Alcorn State (Mar. 6), and Jackson State (Mar. 8). The finale against Jackson State promises to be a thrilling game, potentially with SWAC tournament implications on the line. MVSU will aim to build momentum heading into March, hoping to peak at the right time as they look forward to a strong postseason run.

This season, MVSU's women's basketball team will lean on strategic leadership from Coach Anderson and the experience of returning players to navigate a challenging schedule. With a combination of resilience, teamwork, and home-court support, the Devilettes are set to compete with determination and aim for a standout season in the SWAC.
