Robert Morris 2026-27 Women’s Basketball Schedule, Game-by-Game Analysis

The Robert Morris 2026-27 women’s basketball season is officially underway and the Colonials are looking to take another step in head coach Chandler McCabe’s third season on the job after making it to the Horizon League semifinals in her first year and winning 18 games a season ago.

The Colonials will play a full 31-game schedule consisting of the usual 20-game Horizon League slate.

The non-conference portion of the schedule features a trip to the Daytona Beach Classic, two power-conference opponents and many of the usual in-state rivalry games. The Colonials will also face a new Horizon League foe this year as Northern Illinois enters the fray.

Robert Morris WBB Schedule/Results/Analysis

Thursday, Nov. 5, 4 p.m. vs. Illinois-Chicago, 71-58 L

Robert Morris opened the season against a very tough Illinois-Chicago squad, and were without All-Horizon Defensive standout Eva Levingston in doing so. Her absence proved crucial as the Colonials defense struggled throughout. The offense was even worse, especially in the second half, as they shot just 26% in the second half and were 1-for-11 from three.

Sunday Nov. 8, 2 p.m. vs. Delaware State, 69-53 W

After a back-and-forth first quarter, Robert Morris used a dominant second quarter in which they outscored Delaware State 24-11 to create separation before halftime. A quartet of double-digit scorers helped secure the Colonials’ first win of the season.

Wednesday, Nov. 11, 6 p.m. vs. Eastern Michigan, 69-51 W

Both Robert Morris and Eastern Michigan experienced some offensive first-half struggles as neither team shot better than 39% in the first half. The Colonials went the first two quarters without even making a three-point shot. That all changed in what ended up being a dominating second half for the Colonials who used a 22-7 run to run away from the Eagles.
