PROVO, Utah — BYU women’s soccer head coach Jennifer Rockwood released the full 2024 schedule today. Along with the Big 12 schedule, the Cougars will also compete in seven non-conference games.
“It is a very tough schedule,” said head coach Jennifer Rockwood. “That’s what we have done for the last few years and it works well for us. We go out and play a tough non-conference schedule. We will have a new look this fall, but we have made some strides over our spring season, and we are really looking forward to it. Our experience in the Big 12 was awesome last year, and it’s really great seeing so many big programs on our schedule again this year.”
The Cougars’ 11-game 2024 Big 12 schedule will feature six home dates with Arizona State (Sept. 12), Utah (Sept. 23), Oklahoma State (Sept. 26), Iowa State (Sept. 30), Baylor (Oct. 17) and Houston (Oct. 21), and five road matches against TCU (Sept. 19), Arizona (Oct. 4), Kansas (Oct. 10), Kansas State (Oct. 14) and Texas Tech (Oct. 25).
Prior to beginning non-conference play, the Cougars will open the 2024 season with a Blue/White game on South Field (Aug. 3), and two exhibition games, traveling a few minutes north to UVU on Aug. 7 and hosting Wyoming on Aug. 9.
