BOSTON -- Northeastern women's basketball begins its 2026-27 campaign on Monday, Nov. 2, welcoming UAlbany to the Cabot Center for a 7 p.m. tip-off. Fans can watch on FloCollege or purchase tickets at NUHuskies.com/tickets.
THREE THINGS TO KNOW:
- PRESEASON RECOGNITION: Juniors Camryn Collins and Justice Tramble each landed on the CAA's Preseason Honorable Mention list. Collins, a Foxboro, Mass. native, paced the Huskies in scoring last season at 11.4 points per game. Tramble, a 6-1 forward from Canton, Mich., led the team with 5.8 rebounds per game and shot 52.3 percent from the field. She also tied the program record for rebounds in a single game with 21 at North Carolina A&T on Feb. 20, a triple-overtime contest.
- YIRSY IN YEAR FOUR: Senior guard Yirsy Quéliz represented the Dominican Republic at the FIBA Women's AmeriCup 2027 Centrobasket Qualifiers. The Dominican Republic took bronze and qualified for the 2027 AmeriCup. Quéliz appeared in all six games, averaging 5.5 points, 3.0 assists and 1.5 steals over 19.0 minutes per game. Back in Boston, she has played in 82 games with 64 starts for the Huskies. Last season she averaged 9.7 points, 3.4 rebounds and 2.6 assists in 29.2 minutes per game, and she led the team with 76 assists and 38 steals. She enters the year with 747 career points.
- SCOUTING UALBANY: The Great Danes finished 14-16 a year ago, and Vermont, the eventual champion, eliminated them in the America East quarterfinals. UAlbany has a new coach in Kelly Morrone, the 2026 MAAC Coach of the Year at Merrimack, and returns only two players from last season. The league's coaches picked UAlbany seventh in the preseason poll. The programs are even at 5-5 all-time, and the Huskies won the last meeting, 70-67 at Albany on Dec. 28, 2014.
After the season opener, Northeastern's next outing is across town at Boston University on Friday, Nov. 6 at 6 p.m.
