The Milwaukee women's basketball team is set to host the Carroll Pioneers at the Klotsche Center on November 6, marking the start of a three-game homestand. The game will be broadcast on ESPN+, with live stats available through MKEPanthers.com. Fans can also listen to the audio stream on the Black & Gold Network and the Varsity Network app.

Milwaukee's season opener saw Kacee Baumhower lead with 26 points in an overtime loss to St. Thomas. The Panthers outrebounded their opponents but struggled with turnovers, giving away the ball 21 times compared to St. Thomas' 15.

Carroll, ranked No. 21 in the D3hoops.com Division III poll, will treat this matchup as an exhibition before starting their season against Milwaukee School of Engineering. Last season, Carroll finished with a 23-5 record and returns key players like Oliva Rangel, Emilie Wizner, and Natalie Gricius.

Milwaukee head coach Kyle Rechlicz enters her 13th year leading the Panthers, who have consistently posted strong home records over recent seasons. The team's schedule includes non-conference games against Butler and Valparaiso at home before traveling to face Wisconsin.

The Panthers are looking to build on last season's achievements, including a ninth-place finish nationally in free throw percentage and setting several individual records.
