Season Schedule Unveiled
The University of Maine women's soccer team unveiled its 2026 schedule, outlining a 16‑game regular season that blends home fixtures at the New Balance Soccer Complex with road contests across the country.
The campaign begins on August 12 when the Black Bears travel to Rhode Island before returning to Orono for three straight home matches, the first of which pits them against Mercer University on August 20.
Non‑conference play continues into September with a showdown against Army on September 3, followed by the start of America East competition on September 20 against UAlbany.
Mid‑season highlights include a rematch of last year's title game against Vermont on October 4 and a Senior Day celebration on October 11 when NJIT visits the campus.
The regular season will wrap up on November 1 at UMBC, setting the stage for the America East Tournament, which begins with quarterfinal action on November 5, proceeds to the semifinals on November 8, and culminates in the championship game on November 15.
The schedule offers a balanced mix of home and away games, giving the team ample opportunity to build momentum and contend for the America East title.
