2014-15 Women's Basketball Schedule

Orangeburg, S.C.—The Claflin University women's basketball program has released its 2014-15 schedule, which includes, a pair of contests against two Central Intercollegiate Athletics Conference (CIAA) members, two Peach Belt Conference members, nine non-conference matchups and 15 home games, including the first five. For the second straight season, the Lady Panthers will open its season at home.

"It's always good when you can begin the season at home," said head coach Deont'a McChester, who is in his second season at the helm of the Lady Panthers. "To play five straight games in front of your home fans will undoubtedly help boost the confidence of the team."
