The Benedictine Mesa women's basketball team has announced its 2026-27 schedule, featuring a balanced mix of non-conference tests, regional rivalries, and a full Greater Southwest Athletic Conference slate as the Redhawks look to build momentum heading into conference play. 

The season begins with a pair of scrimmages on the road against Phoenix College on Oct. 10 and Scottsdale Community College on Oct. 17 before the Redhawks officially open their home schedule with three straight games inside the BenU PEC. Benedictine hosts Bushnell on Oct. 28, Corban on Oct. 31, and Westcliff on Nov. 3 to begin a stretch of early-season competition against teams from across the western United States. 

GSAC action gets underway on Nov. 21 when the Redhawks travel across town to face Park-Gilbert. Benedictine will then take on one of its toughest non-conference challenges of the season with back-to-back road contests against NCAA Division II member Alaska Anchorage on Nov. 27 and Nov. 28. 

December features a blend of conference and non-conference matchups, including a GSAC home opener against Life Pacific on Dec. 3. The Redhawks will also face Nelson University, Stanton University, Northern New Mexico, and Rio Grande before turning their attention fully toward conference play in January. 

Conference competition resumes after the holiday break with a road matchup against OUAZ on Jan. 2. Benedictine's home conference schedule includes games against Hope International, La Sierra, Arizona Christian, OUAZ, Embry-Riddle, Park-Gilbert, and The Master's. Key road trips will take the Redhawks to Embry-Riddle, Life Pacific, The Master's, Hope International, La Sierra, and Arizona Christian during the second half of the season. 

The final month of the regular season will be critical as the Redhawks make their push toward postseason positioning, closing conference play with matchups against Embry-Riddle, Park-Gilbert, Arizona Christian, and The Master's in February. 

Benedictine will play 11 home games at the BenU PEC during the regular season and will face every GSAC opponent twice as part of the conference's double round-robin format. The Redhawks open their home conference schedule on Dec. 3 against Life Pacific and conclude the regular season on Feb. 20 against The Master's.
