🔼 Save The Dates. Five home dates highlight a loaded non-conference slate for head coach Denise Dillon and the Villanova women’s hoops squad as the ‘Cats unveiled their full non-league schedule this week.

🔼 Head Of Class. It was a record year for the ‘Cats in the classroom as Villanova led all BIG EAST schools with a program record 395 selections to the 2024-25 All-Academic Team, announced earlier this week. It is the third time in the last six years that Villanova Athletics has set a new record for its most selections to the BIG EAST All-Academic Team, and it is the 10^th straight year in which more than 300 Wildcats student-athletes have garnered All-Academic recognition.

🔼 Meet The ‘Cats. In the latest edition of Meet The ‘Cats, we get to know newcomer Malcolm Flaggs, who arrives at Villanova after spending the last two seasons at Grand Canyon University.
