DENVER – Entering her second season at the helm of the MSU Denver women's soccer program, head coach Katie Hooker has announced the Roadrunners' 2026 schedule, featuring a balanced slate of challenging non-conference opponents and another demanding Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference campaign.

After laying the foundation during her first season in 2025, Hooker and the Roadrunners will look to take another step forward with a schedule designed to prepare the team for conference play and postseason competition.

MSU Denver opens preseason play with three exhibition contests, beginning Aug. 13 at Laramie County Community College before hosting CSU Pueblo on Aug. 15 and Albion College on Aug. 22.

The regular season officially begins on Aug. 27 with a road matchup against Angelo State before the Roadrunners return home Aug. 29 to host Point Loma in their home opener.

The Roadrunners then head to the Pacific Northwest for a pair of regional tests, taking on Central Washington on Sept. 3 before facing Saint Martin's on Sept. 5.

MSU Denver returns home Sept. 11 to host Fort Hays State before opening RMAC play two days later against Westmont. The Roadrunners continue their homestand with Westminster on Sept. 18 and Colorado Mesa on Sept. 20 before heading back on the road to face New Mexico Highlands on Sept. 24 and UCCS on Sept. 27.

October opens with another challenging road trip as MSU Denver visits CSU Pueblo on Oct. 2 and Colorado School of Mines on Oct. 4 before returning home to host Regis on Oct. 9 and Black Hills State on Oct. 11.

The Roadrunners travel to Adams State on Oct. 15 before closing out the regular season with three of their final four matches at home. MSU Denver hosts Western Colorado on Oct. 23 and Fort Lewis on Oct. 25 before wrapping up the regular season Oct. 28 at Colorado Christian.

The RMAC Tournament is scheduled for Oct. 30 through Nov. 7, with the NCAA Division II Women's Soccer Championship set to begin Nov. 13 and continue through Dec. 6.

The 2026 slate presents a strong blend of regional competition, home matches at the Assembly Athletic Complex and another challenging RMAC schedule as Hooker continues building the Roadrunners into a contender within one of Division II's toughest conferences.
