A Season-Opening Doubleheader Sets The Tone

Stanford And Michigan State Bring A Challenging Weekend

Cal State Bakersfield will welcome Stanford on Friday, Nov. 13, before hosting Michigan State on Saturday, Nov. 14.

The back-to-back matchups give the Roadrunners another opportunity to measure their progress early in the season. Stanford provides an in-state matchup, while Michigan State brings a Big Ten opponent to Bakersfield.

With two home duals on consecutive days, the weekend will offer fans an extended look at the Roadrunners as they continue to establish their lineup.

Pac-12 Competition Takes Center Stage In January

The Roadrunners return to the Icardo Center in January for three home duals against Pac-12 opponents.

Cal State Bakersfield will host Little Rock on Jan. 17, followed by North Dakota State on Jan. 22. The Roadrunners will then face South Dakota State on Jan. 24.

The three matchups provide Bakersfield with a key stretch of conference competition as the season progresses. Each dual offers an opportunity to evaluate individual matchups and build toward the postseason.

The January home stand also gives fans multiple chances to follow the Roadrunners as conference competition becomes a larger focus.

Cal Poly Rivalry Closes The Home Dual Schedule
