Cochran, GA – Middle Georgia State University head women's basketball coach Anderson Ligon has announced the Knights schedule for the upcoming 2024-25 season. The Knights will look to return to the SSAC Tournament after missing out last season.

"Our 2024-25 women's basketball schedule is a great opportunity to build momentum as we prepare for the exciting transition to the NCAA & Peach Belt Conference next season. Additionally, our schedule comprises the strength of the SSAC, along with scrimmages, exhibitions, and non-conference games," said Ligon.

"As we enter this pivotal basketball season, success will hinge on contributions from every corner of our team. Our seniors, with their wealth of experience and leadership, will be crucial in guiding us through challenging games and setting the standard for excellence. The non senior returners are familiar with our program and culture. They bring stability and a relentless drive to improve upon last season's performance. Our newcomers, with their fresh energy and talent, will inject excitement and passion, pushing the team to new heights. Our coaching staff is ready to work with this roster on and off the court to achieve our shared goals."

"Furthermore, we are grateful for the opportunities, camaraderie, and memorable experiences the NAIA & SSAC have provided. As we transition to the NCAA and Peach Belt Conference next season, we carry forward the valuable lessons and strong relationships we built while working together with our stakeholders. Embracing this change with gratitude, we look forward to new challenges and achievements the NCAA and PBC offer while honoring the legacy we've created in the NAIA & SSAC." said Ligon.
