On Friday September 11th,  UW will travel to Vermillion to take on the South Dakota Coyotes where in 2018 the Cowgirls came away with a 4-2 victory.  The trip will conclude against the Omaha Mavericks on Sun., Sept. 13. The Cowgirls will conclude their non-conference slate at home on Fri., Sept. 18 against New Mexico State. The two teams finished in a 1-1 double overtime tie last year.
 
"This year's schedule came together really well," Cuadrado said. "We will have two new opponents for Wyoming Soccer, and a couple of others we haven't played in a few years.  The home schedule is very exciting for us, and the Mountain West Conference segment of home games will give fans some great matches to watch.  For us, it is now about getting prepared to begin our pre-season training on August 4^th so we can build the team to take on this year's schedule."
