The Alaska women's basketball team opened its 2011 – 2012 season with non-conference home games against Dixie State and Minot State at the Patty Center. The team’s first five games are at home.

“The team is pumped these games are at home,” second-year head coach Cody Burgess said. “It's a great opportunity to get our feet set for the kind of competition we're going to face season.”

Alaska's women's team returns three starters from last year's squad that went 1-24. It was selected 10th in the Great Northwest Athletic Conference preseason poll and returns an All-GNAC Honorable Mention member in redshirt senior Nicole Bozek.
