Columbia, MD - For the first time this season, the Howard Community College men's and women's basketball teams will be fully on the road for a full week of action.

The Dragons have played all seven combined games at home to begin the 2026-27 season, but will now take their first road trips of the season as they travel to Delaware and Iowa this week.

Wednesday, November 11 will see the Dragons men's and women's teams head to Stanton, Delaware to face Delaware Techical Community College. Women's basketball will begin the action at 5:00 PM, while the men will tip off at 7:00 PM. Delaware Tech's teams have yet to play this season, so they should provide an interesting challenge for the Dragons.

Women's basketball will then head to North East, Maryland, for the 2026 edition of the Cecil Mixer tournament on Friday, November 13. The Cecil Mixer, hosted by Cecil College, sees some of the best JUCO teams from the east coast take each other on in a major early-season showdown. The Dragons will face Mercer County Community College, a team that went 20-6 last season in Region 19, at 7:00 PM on Friday for their lone game of the tournament.

Meanwhile, men's basketball will head to Iowa for a three-day road trip against some of the best JUCO's in the country. The action begins at 7:00 PM on Friday, November 13 as the Dragons face national powerhouse and #3-ranked Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. A quick turnaround will see the Dragons head to Iowa Falls, Iowa, on Saturday, November 14 to take on #8-ranked Ellsworth Community College at 4:00 PM. The road trip will conclude on Sunday, November 15 at 4:00 PM with a showdown against #23-ranked Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge, Iowa.
