The 2026 SEC Preseason Coaches’ Poll has placed LSU Women’s Soccer fourth among the conference’s powerhouses, tying the Tigers with Tennessee for that spot behind Vanderbilt, Arkansas and Georgia.
That placement comes on the heels of a breakout 2025 campaign that saw LSU reach the NCAA Sweet 16 for the first time in program history and climb to its highest national ranking since 2021, finishing with a 15‑6‑4 record that matched the school’s win total.
A Milestone Season Ahead
Head Coach Sian Hudson, now in her seventh year at the helm, will guide a veteran‑laden squad that returns the core of that historic team while also integrating a fresh wave of promising newcomers eager to make an impact.
The 2026 slate features nine home contests at the Tiger Soccer Complex, beginning with a Sunday night showdown against Northwestern State on August 16, followed by back‑to‑back home matches versus UCF on August 20 and Florida Gulf Coast on August 23.
Fans can secure their seats now, as season tickets for the entire campaign are on sale, offering a chance to experience the electric atmosphere of LSU soccer as the program looks to build on its recent successes.
