ST. LOUIS, MO — The Saint Louis University athletics program released its 2025 women’s soccer schedule on Monday.
The SLU women will play 18 regular season games, headed by two preseason games, with hopes of advancing to the NCAA Tournament for the eighth straight season.
Saint Louis is coming off winning its seventh straight Atlantic 10 Conference Tournament championship last year.
The Billikens went 15-2-6 last season and made it to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, where they lost to then-No. 1 ranked USC in an epic 4-3 battle in Los Angeles.

SLU will begin its season on August 14, when the Billikens will play a road game against cross-state rival Kansas City. SLU will then play nationally-ranked Penn State on the road a week later (August 21), before returning to St. Louis for its home opener on August 24.
The Billikens will play the University of Missouri in the home opener at Hermann Stadium.
Overall, Saint Louis will play nine home games and nine road games. Although it is likely that one of the road games — against SIU-Edwardsville on September 7 — will become a neutral site game and will be moved to Energizer Park. The Billikens and Cougars have played at Energizer Park the last two seasons.
Other Billiken home games this season will include matchups against Indiana (August 28), Missouri State (September 4), and Illinois State (September 14), along with A-10 league games against Davidson (September 21), La Salle (October 2), Duquesne (October 12), Dayton (October 16), and the regular season finale against Loyola Chicago (October 26).
SLU will also host a pair of preseason games against SEMO (August 6) and Evansville (August 9). Game times have not been set yet, but will be announced at a future date.
