ST. MARY'S CITY, Md. – Head Coach Peter Krech '09, who embarks on his 12th season as the skipper of the St. Mary's College of Maryland women's soccer program this fall, released the 2025 schedule. The 19-game schedule gives SMCM fans nine opportunities to watch them in person at the Jamie L. Roberts (JLR) Stadium.
 
St. Mary's College, the 2024 United East Conference tournament runner-up, will go up against three participants from the 2024 NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship Tournament, two league tournament runners-up and one conference tournament champion. Additionally, two teams finished the season nationally ranked in the United Soccer Coaches poll.
 
The 2024 campaign was a historic one for the Seahawks, finishing with school records of 65 goals scored, 18 shutouts, and 17 wins. SMCM registered a final overall record of 17-2-4 (7-0-1 UEC), advanced to the United East tournament championship game, and earned the program's second-ever NCAA Division III Women's Soccer Championship Tournament berth.

Neumann advanced to the semifinals of the Atlantic East Conference Tournament while TCNJ is the two-time defending New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) champion and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Tournament, earning a No. 20 ranking in the final national poll.
 
SMCM then begins a five-game road trip at Hood College on Sept. 3 before taking on William Smith College and Rowan University at the Salisbury University Classic on Sept. 6-7.
