STEPHENVILLE, Texas – Year No. 2 of Tarleton Texan soccer is just around the corner.
 
The Texans released their schedule for the 2023 season on Thursday, the second season of competition for the program.
 
Tarleton will play 11 regular season matches at the Tarleton Soccer Complex with eight matches on the road. There are 10 non-conference matches and a nine-game Western Athletic Conference slate that make up the 19-match season.
 
"We're excited to have the opportunity to take another step in our program as we play against quality opponents this fall," said head coach Pete Cuadrado. "There is nothing more exciting than playing in front of our fans at home as they always make it such a special environment."
 
The Texans are eligible to participate in the 2023 WAC Women's Soccer Tournament for the first time this season. The top six teams in the conference standings will advance to the tournament, hosted by California Baptist in Riverside, California, beginning on Sunday, Oct. 29.
 
"The WAC slate is very challenging," said Cuadrado. "Every match is tough and in order to get results in this conference you must be ready to battle for 90 minutes. That's something we are looking forward to."
 
The Texans' first competition of the calendar year will be an exhibition match at home as the Baylor Bears out of the Big 12 will travel to Stephenville on Aug. 10 at 7 p.m. CT.
 
Following that, the first three matches of the season will be played within the friendly confines of the Tarleton Soccer Complex. They open the regular season with Louisiana Monroe (Aug. 17) followed by Texas A&M-Commerce (Aug. 20) and Nicholls (Aug. 25).
 
The first road match takes place in the Bayou city as the Texans travel to play the Houston Cougars on Aug. 27.
 
New foes the Texans will see for the first time this season include Grambling State at home (Sept. 1), Oral Roberts in Tulsa (Sept. 14) and Prairie View A&M in Stephenville (Sept. 16) as well as previously mentioned Texas A&M-Commerce and Houston.
 
WAC play starts with three consecutive road matches. The Texans travel to SFA (Sept. 21), UTRGV (Sept. 24) and rival ACU (Oct. 1). That is followed by two straight at home with Utah Valley (Oct. 5) and Seattle U (Oct. 8) making the trip to Stephenville.
 
A Utah road trip marks the final road games of the regular season conference slate as the Texans take on Utah Tech (Oct. 12) and Southern Utah (Oct. 15) in the Beehive state.
 
California Baptist (Oct. 19) and Grand Canyon (Oct. 22) mark the last two games of the regular season, with both being played at the Tarleton Soccer Complex.

Broadcast and ticket details for each match will be announced at a later date.
