COLUMBUS, Ind. – The IU Columbus Women's Soccer program has officially announced its 2026 season schedule, the Crimson Pride Athletic Department revealed on Monday.
Building on last season's progress, the Crimson Pride enter the 2026 campaign with a renewed focus and a commitment to continued development within the River States Conference. IU Columbus finished the 2025 season with a 5-10-2 overall record and 3-7 mark in conference play, showing growth and competitiveness throughout the year.
