The 2026 varsity women's college soccer season in the 845U conference will run from early August through mid‑November, bringing together programs from across the region. The schedule was designed to maximize regional rivalries while allowing teams to travel to diverse venues across the Northeast and Mid‑Atlantic.
Four institutions are slated to compete: Army and Marist, both NCAA Division I members, and SUNY New Paltz and Mount Saint Mary, who compete in Division III. Each program has named a head coach ahead of the campaign, setting the stage for new leadership and tactical direction.
Early Matchups
Army’s slate includes contests against Wagner, Air Force, Colorado, William & Mary, Vermont, Monmouth, West Virginia and Maine, while Marist is set to face Binghamton, Colgate, Fordham, Holy Cross, Navy and Merrimack. These early fixtures provide a glimpse of the competitive balance within the conference.
SUNY New Paltz and Mount Saint Mary’s full schedules are still pending release, though Mount Saint Mary is slated to open its season at Rowan on September 5. That early‑season road test will give the team a chance to gauge its progress before the bulk of the conference schedule unfolds.
The geographic spread of the conference is evident in the upcoming travels, with teams heading to venues in New York, Colorado, Maine and New Jersey. Such dispersion not only tests logistical readiness but also highlights the regional reach of women's college soccer.
