The Augustana University women's soccer program has released its 2026 regular‑season slate, a 18‑match campaign that blends home‑field advantage with a demanding road schedule.
Eight of those contests will be staged at Morsted Field, the Vikings' historic home in Rock Island, providing a familiar backdrop for the team's attacking style.
Key Home Games and Road Trips
Building on an 11‑5‑4 record from the previous season and a 9‑4‑2 conference mark, Augustana entered the 2025 NSIC Tournament as the sixth seed before falling to third‑seeded St. Cloud State in the quarterfinals.
The non‑conference portion opens in Oklahoma, where the Vikings will test themselves against Southern Nazarene and Central Oklahoma before returning to Illinois for the bulk of conference play.
Conference play begins at home against Minnesota Crookston and MSU Moorhead, setting the tone for a schedule that includes a four‑match road swing through Minnesota Duluth and Winona State.
Mid‑October brings a pair of home fixtures against UMary and Minot State, followed by a high‑profile showdown with Sioux Falls at Bob Young Field on October 9.
Alumni Weekend in late October will host St. Cloud State and Minnesota State, while the regular season concludes with a road trip to face Wayne State on October 29.
The NSIC Tournament is slated for November 2‑8, with sites to be determined, offering the Vikings another chance to contend for a national berth.
