🔼 Save The Dates. The Villanova University women's basketball program unveiled its 2026-27 non-conference schedule this week.
The loaded slate is highlighted by a season-opening matchup against Notre Dame in Rome, Italy, as part of the Eternal City Tipoff.
The Wildcats will play 11 non-conference games, including five contests against teams that competed in the NCAA Tournament last season.
🔼 Two-For-Two. For the first time since 2021, the Villanova men’s soccer team has started the season 2-0 after a second consecutive 1-0 victory, this time, coming against Saint Peter’s on Monday afternoon at home.
Junior Fynn Lahrsen provided the game’s lone goal, forcing a turnover at the feet of the Peacocks’ goalkeeper and rolled in his first goal of the season.
After Monday’s 1-0 victory over Saint Peter’s, the Villanova men’s soccer team has now started the season with back-to-back shutouts for the first time since…….?

🔼 Two Days Away! The wait is over. Wildcat football is officially just hours away at this point!
In just over 50 hours, Villanova will take the field at home against longtime conference rival, William & Mary, in the Patriot League opener for both programs.
The Wildcats are looking to extend their streak of nine straight season-opening victories. It is the second longest active streak in all of FCS, next to only Montana (11).
Kickoff on Friday night is set for 6 p.m.
