PULLMAN, Wash. – The Washington State women's soccer team will play nine home games as part of its 19-game schedule for the upcoming 2025 season, the program announced in partnership with the West Coast Conference, Monday. All of WSU's home matches, as well as the entire WCC schedule will be streamed live via ESPN+ with at least 14 matches scheduled for digital delivery.
The Cougars' campaign begins Thursday, August 14, at Lower Soccer Field, playing host to Utah State in the inaugural athletic event of the new academic year. The Cougs tied the top-10 Aggies in Utah last year, blanking USU at home in the first road shutout of a top-10 opponent in five seasons.
WSU will make the short trip to Moscow, Idaho to play the Vandals in the only road trip of the month, Thursday, August 28. WSU and Idaho have met four times during Shulenberger's tenure in Pullman, with the Cougs defeating Idaho last season in Pullman, and making their first trip across the border since the 2014 season.
August concludes with a highly-anticipated matchup against Georgia at Lower Soccer Field, Sunday, August 31. The Bulldogs make the trip to the Palouse after WSU traveled to Athens last season in the programs' inaugural match.
The Cougs begin September on the road, making a three-game swing through California. Beginning Thursday, September 4, WSU travels to Berkeley to face familiar foe, California. The meeting marks the first match as non-conference opponents and the third-consecutive meeting in the East Bay.

North Dakota State travels to Pullman, Thursday, September 18, to face Washington State for the second time in program history. The Bison visited WSU during Shulenberger's second season at WSU in 2016, when then-freshman Morgan Weaver scored a hat trick in a 5-0 victory.
The final nonconference game of the season finds WSU in Missoula to face Montana, Sunday, Sept. 21. The Cougars are unbeaten against the Griz under Shulenberger's guidance, shutting out Montana in Pullman last year. September's trip marks the first visit to the Missoula campus since a 2017 scoreless draw.
Washington State begins its second and final season as affiliate members of the WCC, Wednesday, September 24, hosting new conference member Seattle U, in Pullman. The Cougars have won the previous two meetings and hold a 7-1 record against the Redhawks under Shulenberger's leadership.
The Cougars will conclude September hosting Santa Clara. WSU welcomes the nationally-ranked Broncos, Saturday, September 27, for the first meeting in Pullman since 2016. Last year, the Cougars visited the No. 10 Broncos and grabbed a 1-1 tie, picking up their second result over a top-10 opponent.
October begins with WSU traveling for its first conference road trip of the season, visiting San Diego, Saturday, October 4, and Saint Mary's, Wednesday, October 8. The Cougars hosted the Toreros and the Gaels in Pullman last season, picking up 1-0 wins over both programs.
