From staff reports

The final West Coast Conference women’s basketball schedule for Gonzaga and Washington State is set.

The conference on Friday announced an 18-game unbalanced schedule for the first time in league history – the final WCC season for the Bulldogs and Cougars before both leave for the Pac-12 in 2026-27.

The 18-game conference slate will be contested over 10 weeks, beginning Sunday, Dec. 28, and concluding Saturday, Feb. 28. Each of the 12 programs will play four opponents once and seven opponents twice.

Game times and television designations will be announced in the coming weeks.
