Sixteen games across three months complete the make-up of the 2026 Youngstown State Women's Lacrosse schedule, Head Coach Liza Oakley announced Monday.

Penguins fans will have eight opportunities to cheer on their team at home this Spring, including the first three games of the season inside the Watson and Tressel Training Site on Feb. 6 vs. Bucknell, Feb. 8 vs. Old Dominion, and Feb. 15 vs George Mason.

YSU will then head on the road for the first time to close out the month of February, heading to Monmouth on Feb. 22, followed by a meeting at UMBC on Feb. 25.

The month of March will not only see YSU play members of the ACC, Big East, and Big 12 conference, but also the start of Mid-American Conference play as well. The Penguins begin the month inside the WATTS vs. Marquette on Mar. 6, before playing their first outdoor home game of the season at Farmers National Bank Field against MAC newcomer UMass on Mar. 14. The next three games will be on the road with YSU traveling to Robert Morris on Mar. 19, Cincinnati on Mar. 22, and Pitt on Mar. 24 before returning home to take on Kent State at Farmers National Bank Field on Mar. 28.

Three of the five games in April will be on the road, with YSU traveling to Detroit Mercy on Apr. 4 and Duquesne on Apr.8. The 'Guins will entertain Central Michigan at home on Apr. 11 followed by heading to the reigning MAC champions, the Akron Zips, for an Apr. 18 contest, before closing out the regular season with a Senior Day game vs. Eastern Michigan at home on Apr. 25.
