Iowa State women's soccer faces Omaha in season opener

The Iowa State women’s soccer team will face the University of Nebraska Omaha at Caniglia Field on Wednesday night for their 2026 season opener.

Iowa State enters the match as part of its 31st season, led by coach Matt Fannon, who has announced his intention to retire at the end of the 2026 season. The Cyclones are integrating 15 newcomers, including seven Power 4 transfers, and are looking to build on a roster that returns key offensive players such as Morgan Goodman.

Omaha, coached by Tim Walters in his 10th season, was picked third in the Summit League Preseason Coaches' Poll. The Mavericks return a veteran core including captains Addie LaRock, Charley Kort, and Jasmyn Brown. The match marks the regular-season opener for both programs.
