WEST HARTFORD, Conn. – On Thursday, the University of Hartford women's soccer program released its upcoming 2026 schedule. The regular season features 17 games with eight coming at Al-Marzook Field at Alumni Stadium.
The reigning back-to-back Conference of New England (CNE) champions will be challenged early in the season heading to New Jersey in the first week of September to take on Stevens and Montclair State University. The Ducks and the Red Hawks combined for a 25-5-12 record, while both making appearances in the NCAA Tournament in 2025.
Hartford will host its first game on September 6th at 3:00 PM against Emmanuel College who won the GNAC and also made an NCAA appearance in 2025. Overall in non-conference play five of the seven teams held records over .500 in 2025. The Hawks will take on teams from six different conferences in non-league play with the MAC, NJAC, GNAC, NEWMAC, LEC and NESCAC featured.
CNE play kicks off on September 12th at 4:00 PM as the Hawks take on Gordon College. In total Hartford will play 10 league games in 2026. The home conference schedule will be a tall order this year as the Hawks will host four of the top five seeds from the 2025 with only one home CNE match featuring a team that did not make the playoffs last season. UHart will host the University of New England on September 19th at 3:00 PM to kick off the home CNE slate. The Hawks will be looking to capture its third consecutive CNE title as well as its second-straight NCAA Tournament appearance. The last time the women's soccer team made the NCAA tournament in back-to-back seasons was in 2001 and 2002 part of a six-year stretch where the Hawks were in the NCAA tournament every year.
