Women's Soccer Announces 2026 Schedule

Front Royal, Va. — Christendom College Women's Soccer has announced its 2026 schedule as the Crusaders begin a new chapter under first-year head coach Christine McLaughlin. Returning a strong core from last season's 10-4 campaign that culminated in a USCAA Division II National Tournament appearance, Christendom looks to carry that momentum into 2026 against another challenging schedule featuring opponents from the USCAA and NCAA Division III ranks.

The Crusaders will open the season on August 29 with a road match at Penn State Mont Alto before making their home debut on September 2 against regional opponent Patrick Henry. September features a balanced slate of home and away contests, including road trips to Penn State Schuylkill, Trinity, and Hollins, while welcoming Mary Baldwin, Salem University, and Central Penn to Front Royal.

Christendom's 2026 schedule includes five NCAA Division III matchups, providing valuable tests throughout the season. The Crusaders will also renew familiar USCAA rivalries against Penn State Mont Alto, Central Penn, and Penn State Greater Allegheny, while taking on USCAA Division I opponents Salem University and Manor College.

The regular season enters its final stretch in October with home contests against Penn State Mont Alto, Central Penn, and Trinity before Christendom closes the year on the road at Manor College and Penn State Greater Allegheny.

With an experienced returning roster, new leadership on the sidelines, and a schedule that will challenge the team throughout the fall, the Crusaders are poised to build on last season's success as they pursue another trip to the USCAA Division II National Tournament in 2026.
