RIVERSIDE--- The California Baptist University women's water polo team has released its 2027 schedule as it embarks on a new era in the Big West Conference.
The Lancers spent the last several seasons competing in the Golden Coast Conference and will now begin their first season as members of the Big West. CBU finished last season 14-11, its most wins in a single season since 2023 and its best winning percentage since 2020.
The season will begin on January 16 and 17 as the host of the annual Joust Tournament. CBU will face solid opposition in the tournament, including matchups against Pacific, which will serve as the home opener, Biola, Santa Clara, and USC. The Lancers will then hit the road for the ASU Invitational on January 22, where they will face Arizona State, McKendree, Michigan, and Princeton. CBU will return home to host the Lancer Mini Joust with opponents to be determined.
Conference action begins on Saturday, February 13, as the Lancers host UC San Diego at the Lancer Aquatics Center for a 10 AM matchup. CBU will head back to Tempe, Arizona, to play in the Sun Devil Tournament with games against Marist, VMI, and LIU slated for the Lancers. Mount Saint Mary's will be welcomed to Riverside on March 4 before the Lancers embark on their first road trip of conference action, competing against UC Santa Barbara on March 6 and then traveling to Manoa, Hawaii, to face the University of Hawaii.
CBU will host three of the final matches of the season, beginning with conference matches against Long Beach State and Cal State Fullerton on the same weekend, March 19 and 20, respectively. The Lancers will conclude its road schedule on March 27 against CSUN before the season finale on April 3 against UC Irvine. Following the regular season, the Lancers will compete in the Big West Women's Water Polo Championship in La Jolla, California, beginning on April 9 on the campus of UCSD.
