The Lady Lions are coming off a 10-19 season and are entering the sixth season under head coach Carolyn Kieger. Penn State is hoping for its second winning season in three years and to make its first appearance in the NCAA women&#8217;s baksetball tournament since 2014.

In addition to its Big Ten slate, Penn State will play a road game at perennial national powerhouse South Carolina in mid-December. That will be followed by participating in The Culture Tournament against VCU and Richmond a week later.
