One of the Beavers most successful programs is gearing up for another season of competition as head coach TJ Perez is pleased to announce the schedule for his women’s soccer team for the fall 2024 season.

The Beavers begin play in August as they host a trio of exhibition contests as tune-ups for the regular season, which begins on the road in Idaho in September and includes eight home contests for the Minot State women’s soccer program.

“I am excited for the fall 2024 season; ready to get going!” Coach Perez said. “We have a great team coming in for the season and some great games to start off our non-conference schedule.”

That schedule starts with the Beavers hosting Regina in an exhibition on Friday, August 23, at 5 p.m. at First Western Bank Field at Herb Parker Stadium.

Minot State’s exhibition homestand continues with the Dakota Alliance Soccer Club visiting on Sunday, August 25, at noon, then wraps up with the Beavers annual exhibition contest against the Magic City Legends club team on Friday, August 30, at 7 p.m.

With three exhibitions under their belt, the Beavers then open the regular season at Northwest Nazarene on Thursday night, September 5, before taking on Chaminade in a neutral-site game hosted by Northwest Nazarene on September 7.

The Beavers then make their official home debut during Homecoming weekend, hosting non-conference foe Montana State-Billings on Friday, September 13, at 6 p.m.

After a short but challenging non-conference slate, the Beavers dive into NSIC action with their rivalry game, playing at Mary on Friday, September 20, before returning home after the quick road trip to host Northern State on Sunday, September 22, at noon at First Western Bank Field at Herb Parker Stadium.

Then it is back on the road for Minot State as the Beavers play games at Minnesota State, Mankato and Southwest Minnesota State on September 27 and September 29, respectively, prior to a 3-game homestand that features the Beavers hosting Augustana on Friday, October 4, at 6 p.m., Minnesota Duluth on Friday, October 11, at 5 p.m., and St. Cloud State on Sunday, October 13, at noon.

Minot State then hits the road for two weekends to close out the away portion of its NSIC slate, playing at Bemidji State on October 18, at Minnesota Crookston on October 20, at Concordia, St. Paul on October 25, and at Winona State on October 27.

The Beavers then finish the regular season with three straight at First Western Bank Field at Herb Parker Stadium, hosting Sioux Falls at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 1, Wayne State at noon on Sunday, November 3, and Minnesota State Moorhead at 3 p.m. on Thursday, November 7.

The postseason begins on Monday, November 11, with the top four teams in the regular season hosting quarterfinals games. The NSIC Tournament semifinals will be Thursday, November 14, and the final on Saturday, November 16, with the semifinals and final hosted by the highest remaining seed following Monday’s quarterfinal contests.
