LOS ANGELES, Calif. – Occidental Women's Soccer released its 2026 season schedule July 22.
 
The Tigers, who returned to form in 2025, reaching the SCIAC Tournament and winning the first round game before eventually falling in the conference semifinals, look to build on their momentum heading into 2026.
 
2026 AT A GLANCE
The Tigers open the season with a quality Division III out-of-conference match with Illinois Tech. The Scarlet Hawks were 20-2-1 a season ago, losing in the second round of the NCAA Tournament after earning the Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference's automatic bid. The Scarlet Hawks were ranked as high as 24^th in the United Soccer Coaches Poll.
 
Women's Soccer opens the conference slate at La Verne on September 16, kicking off a 12-match schedule.
 
The Tigers welcome the SCIAC's newest member, Azusa Pacific, to Patterson Field on September 26. While integrated into the scheduling this season, the Cougars will become full-fledged conference and Division III members starting in Fall 2028. Until then they will not be eligible for the conference tournament.
 
Oxy plays a tough in-conference schedule with two matches against each Cal Lutheran and Claremont-M-S – both squads reached the NCAA tournament and were nationally ranked throughout the season.
