SALEM, Va. – The 2026 Roanoke College women's soccer schedule was released Wednesday by head coach Phil Benne.

The Maroons open the season Sept. 4-5 with the four-team Roanoke Invitational in Kerr Stadium, featuring Hope College (Mi.), the University of Lynchburg and Maryville College (Tn.). After a road contest at Southern Virginia University on Sept. 9, RC has another home invitational Sept. 12-13, the Hyatt Place Showcase, with Gettysburg College, Farmingdale State University (N.Y.) and Greensboro College.

The first Old Dominion Athletic Conference (ODAC) game of the season is set for Wednesday, Sept. 16 at Randolph-Macon College. Senior Day, as part of the Family Weekend, is scheduled for Sept. 26 vs. Sweet Briar College. Other home ODAC games in 2026 include Bridgewater College, Hollins University, Averett University and Washington & Lee University.

"As we approach the 2026 season, I'm excited about the opportunities in front of our program and the challenge our schedule presents from day one," said Benne. "We've intentionally built a slate that will test us early, but also give us a chance to build confidence and momentum—opening with four of our first five matches at home. That stretch is critical for us, and our expectation is to come out of it with a winning record while establishing our identity in front of our home supporters. With the Roanoke Invitational, The Hyatt Place Showcase, a strong non-conference lineup, and the grind of ODAC play ahead, every match is a chance to grow as a group and prepare ourselves for what we believe can be a successful run into November."

The Maroons look to improve on last season's 9-9-1 record, including a 6-4 ODAC mark.
