Beavers gear up for a demanding 2026 campaign
The Oregon State women's soccer team has unveiled its full 2026 schedule, a slate that blends early road tests with a series of home fixtures at Lorenz Field. The announcement, made by the university's athletic department, sets the stage for a season that could define the program's trajectory.
The Beavers open the season with a two‑game road swing, beginning in Columbia, South Carolina, before heading to Nashville, Tennessee, to face Lipscomb. Both matches will test the team's early chemistry and provide a measuring stick against strong opponents.
Back on home turf, the first appearance at Lorenz Field comes on August 19 against Bushnell, a non‑conference opponent that will allow the coaching staff to evaluate new talent before the schedule intensifies.
The non‑conference portion continues with contests against Weber State in Ogden, Utah, and a trip to Pullman, Washington, to meet Washington State. Additional road games at Boise State and Fresno State, as well as home matchups versus Portland and Loyola Marymount, round out the early schedule before the team travels to Eastern Washington on September 25.
Conference battles and the road to the championship
Pac‑12 play begins on October 1 at Washington State, followed by a series of home fixtures against San Diego State and Texas State in October. The Beavers will also host Colorado State and Utah State, while traveling to Boise State and Fresno State later in the month.
The regular season culminates with a November 5 road game at Gonzaga, after which the team will prepare for the Pac‑12 Championship, scheduled for the weekend of November 11‑15. The championship will bring together the conference's top squads in a single‑site showdown.
Throughout the season, the Beavers will rely on a blend of experienced seniors and emerging underclassmen, aiming to translate early momentum into a deep run in the conference tournament and beyond.
