Concord University has unveiled its 2026 women's soccer schedule, a 18‑game slate that blends non‑conference road trips with a heavy Mountain East Conference slate.
The campaign opens on August 27 with a visit to Catawba, followed two days later by a match at Lenoir‑Rhyne, giving the Mountain Lions an early test against two of the conference's non‑conference foes.
Conference Structure
Conference play begins September 6, and the schedule is structured so that every team in the MEC South Division meets Concord twice, while each opponent in the North Division appears once.
The first home game is slated for September 9 against West Virginia Wesleyan, marking the start of a stretch that includes a two‑game homestand before the team hits the road in October.
Rivalry and Outlook
A highlight of the season is the attempt to snap a four‑game losing streak against Fairmont State, a rivalry that has seen Concord dominate in recent years, having won eight straight meetings since September 2022.
The regular season will culminate with a home showdown against Charleston on October 25, after which the team will look to finish strong before the conference tournament.
With a balanced schedule that mixes home comforts and challenging away trips, the Mountain Lions are poised to make a deep run in the postseason.
