BILLINGS, Mont.- Head Coach Wes Keller has officially announced the 2026-27 schedule for Rocky Women's Basketball. 

Coming off their fourth 20-win season in the past five years and securing their eighth trip to the NAIA National Tournament since the 2016-17 campaign, the Battlin' Bears look to carry their momentum into the upcoming year.

Rocky's non-conference slate features six matchups against Cascade Collegiate Conference (CCC) foes, highlighted by three regional tournaments, alongside a pair of Rimrock Rivalry exhibition games against Rimrock Rivals, Montana State University Billings.

The regular season officially tips off in Spokane, Washington, at the Cascade-Frontier Crossover on October 24th and 25th. Rocky opens against Lewis-Clark State College, an NAIA National Tournament Round of 16 finisher that totaled a record of 25-9 last season. The Battlin' Bears follow that opener with a rematch against Southern Oregon, a squad Rocky defeated 83-64 in the First Round of last year's NAIA Championship Tournament.

The Battlin' Bears home opener will be a Rimrock Rivalry exhibition against MSU Billings on October 27th. The two squads will meet again on November 23rd at Alterowitz Gym. 

Rocky continues non-conference action in Eugene, Oregon, at the Beacon Classic, hosted by Bushnell University. The Battlin' Bears take on host Bushnell on November 13th, a rematch of last season's 76-67 Rocky victory in Billings, before battling defending CCC Tournament Champion Corban University (26-6) on November 14th.

Frontier Conference play tips off November 21st in Helena against Carroll College, launching a rigorous 22-game conference schedule featuring a full home-and-away series against every Frontier opponent.

Rocky wraps up non-conference play a week later back in Helena at the Thanksgiving Classic, facing the College of Idaho and Northwest University on November 28th and 29th. The College of Idaho Yotes enter following a 22-9 season that included an NAIA Second Round appearance, while Northwest University looks to build off a 10-19 campaign.

Postseason play begins February 26th with the Frontier Conference Tournament returning to Butte, Montana. Rocky will host its annual Alumni Game in the Fortin Education Center on Friday, October 9th.
