FULL 2023 SCHEDULE

RICHMOND, Va. – A pair of match-ups with defending Atlantic 10 Conference Champion Loyola Chicago, as well as two contests with rival and perennial league contender Dayton highlight VCU's 2023 schedule, released Thursday.
 
The 2023 campaign, the first under first-year Head Coach Tim Doyle, will officially kick off on Friday, Aug. 25, when the Rams take on intrastate rival Old Dominion in Norfolk, Va.
 
The Rams will host Iona, Georgetown and Radford in the VCU Invitational Sept. 1-3 at the Stuart C. Siegel Center, and the Black and Gold will also travel to James Madison (Sept. 8-10) and Winthrop (Sept. 15-16) for non-conference tournament action.
 
VCU, which captured three straight Atlantic 10 Conference regular season championships from 2017-19, will open league play Sept. 22-23 at Saint Louis. A pair of anticipated matches at longtime conference foil Dayton will close the regular season Nov. 10-11.
 
The Rams will host Duquesne (Sept. 29-30), Davidson (Oct. 3), Fordham (Oct. 7-8), defending A-10 Champion Loyola Chicago (Oct. 20-21) and George Mason (Oct. 28-29) during conference play.
 
VCU will return eight letterwinners in 2023, including two-time All-Atlantic 10 Conference selection Jasmine Knight (Phoenix, Ariz.) and 2021 A-10 All-Rookie team pick Kialah Jefferson (Prosper, Texas). Doyle, a former Rams' assistant and one of the architects of the program's rise to the top of the A-10, was named head coach in December following five seasons in the same position at William & Mary.
