PORTALES, N.M. – With the season opener just over one month away, Head ENMU Women's Soccer Coach Eric Belcher has announced the 2024 schedule for the Greyhounds. ENMU will have 17 matches in the regular season, playing 10 games at home, including 13 games against Lone Star Conference teams.

Following the opening home weekend, ENMU makes its only trip to the Centennial State to face Western Colorado on Sept. 12. The Greyhounds play the Mountaineers in their only road non-conference game of the season, last playing the WCU in 2021 during a 1-0 victory. Eastern New Mexico ends its non-conference schedule at home, facing Colorado Christian on Sept. 22.

Eastern starts off LSC action on home turf, facing close rival West Texas A&M on Sept. 25. Soon after, the Greyhounds take on conference newcomer Sul Ross State facing the Lobos on Sept. 28. ENMU will face SRSU for the first time in program history, making the journey to Alpine, Texas.

Eastern New Mexico plays their final weekend home games in succession just before the end of the month.

That next game will be senior day as St. Mary's comes to Portales from San Antonio on Oct. 26.

Before the end of October, the Greyhounds make their only trip to Oklahoma to face Oklahoma Christian in Edmond.
