PORTLAND, Ore. – Portland Pilots Women's Basketball announced on Wednesday a home-and-home series against the New Mexico Lobos starting in the 2026-27 season on Dec. 21 in Albuquerque. They will play in Portland the following season on a date yet to be determined.
The Pilots and Lobos have played twice with a home-and-home spanning the 1993-94 and the 1994-95 seasons. The Pilots took both of those contests.
New Mexico went 22-9 overall and 14-6 in the Mountain West last season, finishing fifth in the conference. They've finished fifth or better every year since the 2020-21 season, including a regular season title that season.
The Pilots finished the year at 20-15 overall and 11-7 in WCC play, earning at least 20 wins for the sixth time in seven years and the fifth season in a row. It's the first time in program history the Pilots have posted five straight years of at least 20 wins in a row. They made the WNIT for their seventh straight season qualifying for postseason play, earning two wins to make the Super 16. All seven wins for the Pilots ever in the postseason have come under head coach Michael Meek. They return all eligible players who played last season while adding four newcomers.
