The University of Indianapolis women's soccer program unveiled its 2026 campaign this week, confirming a 15‑match slate that blends 14 Great Lakes Valley Conference contests with a single non‑conference fixture.
Schedule Release Highlights
The season opens on August 29 in Columbus, Ohio, where the Greyhounds will face Ohio Dominican at 2 p.m., marking the first of many road tests before the home opener on September 12 against William Jewell.
Under new head coach Nick Smith, who took the reins in December, the team will navigate a Wednesday‑Saturday conference rhythm, with occasional weekend adjustments to avoid clashes with the football team’s home games.
Key matchups include rematches with NCAA tournament qualifiers from the previous season — Missouri‑St. Louis and Maryville — while road trips to McKendree and Drury pit the Greyhounds against perennial postseason contenders.
Two Sunday contests are slated, including a September 27 showdown with Southwest Baptist and an October 11 encounter versus Lincoln, adding extra intrigue to the schedule.
Homecoming weekend, scheduled for the week of October 10, will see soccer join football and volleyball on campus, creating a festive atmosphere for fans.
Postseason action kicks off on November 1 with the GLVC Tournament, followed by first‑round NCAA Tournament play later that month, with tickets to be sold through UIndyAthletics.com.
