IMMACULATA, Pa. – Immaculata University women's soccer head coach
Seamus O'Connor has announced the Mighty Macs' 2026 schedule, featuring a 17-match regular season slate with eight home contests at Draper Walsh Stadium.
"We're excited about the opportunities that this schedule presents for our program," said O'Connor. "Last season was about laying a foundation and establishing the culture and standards we want to build upon. Our players embraced that challenge, and now we are looking to take the next step. This schedule will test us early with a strong group of non-conference opponents before we begin conference play. Every match is another opportunity to gain experience, compete, and continue building toward where we want this program to be."
The Mighty Macs enter the 2026 campaign looking to rebound after finishing 4-10-1 overall and 3-4 in Atlantic East Conference play during the 2025 season.
Following a pair of pre-season home scrimmages, Immaculata opens the regular season on Tuesday, September 1, welcoming Rutgers-Newark to Draper Walsh Stadium for a 7 p.m. kickoff. The home stand continues Thursday, September 3, when Stockton visits Immaculata for a 6 p.m. match.
The Mighty Macs then embark on a five-match road trip with contests at Lebanon Valley (Sept. 6), Notre Dame of Maryland (Sept. 10), Widener (Sept. 13), Cedar Crest (Sept. 17), and Delaware Valley (Sept. 20).
Immaculata returns home on Wednesday, September 23, to host DeSales before wrapping up the month with a road matchup at Rutgers-Camden on September 26. The Macs conclude their non-conference schedule on Wednesday, September 30, when they welcome Ursinus to Draper Walsh Stadium.
Atlantic East Conference action begins on Saturday, October 3, with a road contest at Centenary, followed by another road conference match at Marymount on October 7.
Four of Immaculata's final five conference contests will be played at Draper Walsh Stadium, highlighted by the regular season finale against Marymount on Wednesday, October 28.
With longtime regional rivals Marywood and Neumann departing for the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) beginning in 2026-27, the Atlantic East Conference will feature six women's soccer programs. Each team will play seven conference matches, with Immaculata facing both Centenary and Marymount twice during the regular season.
