MALIBU, Calif. – The Pepperdine women's soccer team has announced the upcoming schedule for the 2025 season, head coach Tim Ward announced Monday. 
 
"I am super excited about the matches we've scheduled for our group this fall. As always, our non-conference schedule is about as tough as they come," Ward said. "We have always believed if you want to be the best, you have to play the best."
 
"We're also excited to defend our WCC championship in the biggest WCC conference ever. Because it's the last year that Gonzaga, Washington State and Oregon State are in our conference with the addition of Seattle, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity for our ladies," Ward said. "We're staying both humble and hungry for the chance to repeat as champions!"
 
Tickets for the Waves' home contests will be available at a later date. For more information, follow @PepperdineSoccer on instagram and @WavesSoccer on X.
 
Featuring four 2024 NCAA tournament teams, the Waves play eight home matches and 11 on the road. A rematch with Cal is on the docket for August 24, as the Waves and Bears battled during the national tournament's opening round last season in Malibu.
 
Opening the year on the road, the Waves head to Fort Worth August 14 to face TCU, a program historically in the top-25 who made it to the second round of the tournament last season.
 
The Waves home opener will be August 17 against Hawaii. Pepperdine traveled to Oahu to compete in the Outrigger Tournament last season, but did not face off against the Rainbow Warriors.
 
In its second out-of-state roadtrip, Pepperdine travels to Arizona to play Arizona State September 4 and the University of Arizona September 7 before returning home to open West Coast Conference play against Oregon State September 24.
 
The NCAA College Cup will be held in Kansas City, Mo. this year with Selection Sunday for the tournament November 9.
