The Georgetown University women's soccer program is poised to build on a strong 2025 campaign that saw the Hoyas capture the Big East regular‑season title, only to see their tournament run halted in the finals and the NCAA Round of 16.
As the 2026 season approaches, head coach Dave Nolan and his staff have scheduled 18 opponents, a slate that blends home‑field advantages with road tests against some of the nation's most respected programs.
A challenging slate
The season opens on August 13 at home against Fordham University, giving the team an early chance to fine‑tune before confronting a series of high‑profile matchups.
One of the most anticipated contests arrives on August 20, when the Hoyas travel to face Stanford University, a program renowned for its competitive spirit and talent.
Just three days later, on August 23, Georgetown will host St. Mary's College of California, seeking revenge after a 2‑0 upset loss the previous year.
The team returns to Washington, D.C., on August 30 to meet Virginia Tech University, a foe they defeated 2‑1 in 2025, before welcoming the University of Virginia Cavaliers to campus on September 6.
Conference ambitions
Conference play begins on September 26 with a showdown against Xavier University, the first step toward replicating the perfect 10‑0 Big East regular‑season record achieved in 2025.
Later in the schedule, the Hoyas will test themselves against Villanova University on October 3, a team they edged out 1‑0 last season, and will close the regular season on October 31 with a home game against the University of Connecticut.
Head Coach Dave Nolan has emphasized that each of these fixtures is an opportunity to sharpen the squad's resolve and to push toward a deeper NCAA Tournament run.
Looking ahead
Nolan and his coaching staff remain focused on translating the regular‑season momentum into tournament success, aiming to finally break through the barriers that kept them short of the championship in both the Big East and national brackets.
