CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. – Head coach Sonia LaMonica has announced the 2026 Virginia women’s lacrosse schedule.
The schedule is highlighted by a home contest against Syracuse on Saturday, March 21, which will be part of a men’s and women’s doubleheader played at Scott Stadium. The game also takes place during a weekend of celebration of the 50th anniversary of the inaugural season of Virginia women’s lacrosse.

The road schedule also includes a Sunday, March 8 contest at Florida State in their inaugural season of women’s lacrosse. UVA wraps up the regular season on Thursday, April 16, in Blacksburg, taking on Virginia Tech in a Smithfield Commonwealth Clash contest.
