The 2023-24 Valpo women’s basketball schedule is complete, following Tuesday’s unveiling of the Beacons’ 20-game Missouri Valley Conference slate by the conference office.

The 20-game conference schedule opens with one of Valpo’s two single-game opponents, at Murray State Dec. 30. Belmont is the Beacons’ other one-game foe, with that matchup coming at the ARC Feb. 22.

Valpo’s first taste of MVC play at the ARC this season comes on Jan. 12 against Drake, the first of four consecutive home games in a 10-day stretch as the Beacons will also take on UNI, Illinois State and Bradley in that span. Valpo hosts Indiana State and Evansville Feb. 9 and 11, UIC Feb. 25 and Southern Illinois March 7 before closing the regular season at home versus Missouri State March 9.

Hoops in the Heartland returns to Moline, Ill. March 14-17, as all 12 Valley teams will vie for the MVC tournament title and the conference’s automatic berth to the NCAA Tournament.

Tip times for Valpo’s conference games will be publicized following the finalization of linear and digital broadcast selections.
