CEDARVILLE, Ohio – Cedarville travels to Lewis and perennial Division II power Grand Valley State to begin the 2026 women's soccer season.
 
The Lady Jackets are No. 2 in the G-MAC Preseason Coaches Poll and received votes in the United Soccer Coaches DII Preseason Poll.
 
Cedarville finished 12-3-7 overall and 9-1-4 G-MAC last fall while advancing to the conference semifinals and the second round of the NCAA Division II Championship.
 
Thursday's kickoff at Lewis is set for 6:00 p.m. EDT. The Jackets are unbeaten in two meetings vs. the Flyers with the last matchup a 3-2 road win early in the 2018 campaign.

Then, it's off to Grand Valley State on Saturday with game time at 1:00 p.m.
 
CU is 0-5-1 all-time vs. the seven-time national champion and preseason No. 19 Lakers, but that draw was huge.
 
The Jackets opened the 2025 post-season with a 2-2 tie at GVSU and then eliminated the hosts on penalties, 4-3.
 
Head Coach Jonathan Meade's club returns home to host a four-team classic on September 3 and 5 with fellow G-MAC member Northwood coming to campus along with GLIAC members Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan.
