St. Olaf's 2026 schedule looks pretty typical for the Oles. Nonconference headliners are Chicago, Edgewood, and Luther. All of them won a game in the NCAAs last season. Central, UW-Platteville, and UW-Superior are solid opponents as well.

One thing that bothers is the conference game against crosstown rival Carleton is again a middle of the season weekday game. For a while that game was played on the final Saturday of the regular season, but for whatever reason that tradition ended. For the last 7-8 seasons the Olaf-Carleton game has typically been a weekday 3:30pm or 4pm game. It used to be an informal gathering of soccer alumni when it was that last Saturday of the season (or at least some other Saturday), but the late afternoon weekday slot is not very conducive to getting a good alumni turnout.

Eastern Mennonite

Grove City and Geneva are off this schedule this year, but fellow Pennsylvania school Gettysburg travels to EMU.  They also leave off John Jay, Mary Baldwin, and Johnson & Wales (NC) and add Salisbury, St. Mary's College of Maryland, VMI (DI).

Rhodes

Rhodes had a brutally hard schedule to start last season, playing Johns Hopkins and Montclair St.  This year, they start with Ozarks and Huntingdon, which should be more competitive games.  In their tournament in mid-September, they play ASC schools LeTuorneau and East Texas Baptist, which should be less challenging ASC opponents than Mary Hardin-Baylor, who they played last season.  They once again travel to Southwestern and Trinity in SAA play, but this time they do it for the last two games of conference play.  If they have aspirations of playing in the SAA conference tournament, they would do well to build up cushion early in the season and not have to come into South Texas and pick up points to make it.
