The Crusaders will look to capitalize on their home opportunities while navigating a demanding road schedule that includes trips to California, Arkansas, Colorado and Louisiana.
With a significantly restructured roster featuring five freshmen and several returning contributors, UDallas enters the season looking to establish a new identity following a 4-21 campaign in 2025-26.
Picked to finish ninth in the SCAC preseason coaches' poll, the Crusaders will look to challenge expectations while developing chemistry and consistency throughout the season.
