Evidently, the A10 has a requirement that each women's team have one weekday game start in the middle of the day on a weekday. I understand correctly, the intent is to allow local schools to do field trips to the games.

Funny note, evidently a large number of the teams made their game against GW the game last season so a good number of their games were at this time.
