BOILING SPRINGS, N.C. - Now official, Head Coach Erik Solberg and the Gardner-Webb University women's soccer team have announced its upcoming fall 2025 schedule, featuring eight competitive home games and an eight game Big South Conference slate.

The Runnin' Bulldogs open 2025 at home on August 7th, taking on Furman in an exhibition match. This will help set GWU on its way for the regular season, where the Dawgs first three competitive contests are on the road - August 14th at Stetson, August 17th at Queens and August 24th at Elon. Gardner-Webb rounds out August with its official home opener against Wofford on August 28th, and a second competitive home match against South Carolina State on August 31st -  a team the Runnin' Bulldogs defeated twice last fall.

September begins with more road games, as the Runnin' Bulldogs visit The Citadel on September 4th, Mercer on September 7th and College of Charleston on September 11th. Big South Conference play then begins for GWU on September 20th, where the Runnin' Bulldogs travel north to face Longwood. 

The Runnin' Bulldogs will then welcome in three league opponents and one non-conference opponent for a run of four home games in five in late September and early October. The Dawgs host Presbyterian on September 24, Winthrop on October 1st, and Allen University on October 4th. GWU visits Allen next up on October 8th before turning around to host Charleston Southern on October 11th.

Back to back road games then follow, as Gardner-Webb visits UNC Asheville on October 15th and defending Big South Conference champions, USC Upstate on October 18th. One last non-conference match sits between the final two Big South match-ups, as the Red and Black play host to VMI on October 22nd, ahead of the Runnin' Bulldogs final road game at High Point on October 25th and home finale against Radford on October 29th.

The Big South Conference Tournament is then set to begin on campus sites the weekend of November 1st.
