NMU Lacrosse Announces 2026 Schedule

NMU begins with five straight home games, will take a spring break trip to Colorado

MARQUETTE, Mich. - The NMU lacrosse team has announced its 2026 schedule of games, beginning in February.

The Wildcats start the season with five straight home contests, hosting Calvin University and Northwood for the first time in program history on February 13 and 15, followed by McKendree and UW-Stout on February 19 and 21, and ending with Lewis on February 22. 

The 'Cats first road games come during spring break, when the team travels to Colorado to take on Colorado Mesa, University of Colorado-Colorado Springs, and Regis University. The Mavericks made it to the RMAC Championship as the number one seed in the conference last season, where they lost to nationally ranked Regis. Colorado-Springs lost to Regis in the first round of the RMAC postseason after going 9-6, including a win over GLIAC foe Davenport to open the season. Regis ended the season with the No. 14 ranking in Division II at the end of the year, in a season that included an RMAC Championship and a first-round win in the NCAA Tournament.

The team stays on the road the following weekend, competing against DII powerhouses Ashland and the University of Indianapolis. Both teams laid claim to their respective postseason conference championships last year, along with both earning an appearance in the NCAA Tournament. 

The conference schedule then begins, starting with Saginaw Valley at home on March 20. After a trip to the lower peninsula to face Grand Valley and Davenport, the Wildcats close out the regular season home schedule with three straight matches in two weeks, starting with Concordia-St. Paul on April 4 before closing out with Davenport and Grand Valley on April 10 and 12. 

The regular season ends with two games in two weeks, starting with a contest against Saginaw Valley on April 19 before ending with Concordia-St. Paul, a week later, on April 25.

The GLIAC postseason tournament is slated to begin the following weekend, starting on May 1.
