TOLEDO, Ohio – The Toledo women's soccer program unveiled its 2025 regular-season schedule on Friday, with the season kicking off on Aug. 14.
The Rockets will play six non-conference matches before a 12-match conference schedule begins on Sept. 18. Toledo will play nine contests at Paul Hotmer Field and nine away matches during the fall.
"We are very excited about the fall," said Head Coach
Mark Batman, who is entering his third season leading the Rockets. "The schedule is challenging on many different levels, and we are excited to see how our group responds to each challenge."
Toledo plays non-conference home matches against Oakland (Aug. 24), Saint Francis (Aug. 31) and Detroit Mercy (Sept. 4). The home opener will also serve as the program's Senior Day. Toledo will open its conference schedule at home against Northern Illinois (Sept. 18), with Eastern Michigan (Sept. 21), Bowling Green (Oct. 2), Ohio (Oct. 12), UMass (Oct. 19), and Buffalo (Oct. 26) rounding out the home slate.
The Rockets will play at Eastern Kentucky (Aug. 14), Cincinnati (Aug. 17) and IU Indy (Sept. 14) in road non-conference action. In the MAC, Toledo faces Central Michigan (Sept. 25), Western Michigan (Sept. 28), Miami (Oct. 5), Ball State (Oct. 16), Kent State (Oct. 23) and Akron (Oct. 29).
Prior to its season, Toledo will play in two exhibition matches, first at Cleveland State (Aug. 6) followed by a home date against the University of Northwestern Ohio (Aug. 9).
Four of the six opponents on UT's non-conference schedule were 2024 opponents. Toledo combined for a 2-1-1 record against these opponents last season.
The top six teams in the standings will qualify for the 2025 Mid-American Conference Tournament. Information with the dates and venue will be announced at a later date.
Toledo returns several starters from last season, after tying the team program record for the fewest goals allowed in a season (16). The Rockets are bringing 10 freshmen and transfers
Kaitlyn Colvert (Dayton),
Madelyn Rousseau (Michigan State) and
Emma Rhoades (Pitt) to the program for the 2025 season.
