The NCAA regular season will start the weekend of January 31, as the Green and Gold face a pair of in-region foes, Drury and Rockhurst, on January 31 and February 1. Both matches will be at UIndy.

The Warriors will return home to host the University of Findlay (Feb. 14), before hitting the road once more to compete at Eastern Michigan (Feb. 22).

Wayne State's spring break trip will once again be in Florida, as the squad will face Flagler (Mar. 13), Nova Southeastern (Mar. 15), and Barry (Mar. 16).

WSU will host Oakland on March 21, before starting GLIAC play the following weekend (Mar. 28) at Davenport.
