List of NCAA Division I women's soccer programs
This is a list of women's college soccer programs in the United States that play in NCAA Division I. As of the 2017 NCAA Division I women's soccer season, 334 schools in the United States sponsor Division I varsity women's soccer; all are full Division I members except Colorado College, a Division III member which competes in Division I only for women's soccer and men's ice hockey. This list reflects each team's conference affiliation as of the current 2018 NCAA women's soccer season.[1]
Current Division 1 schools
- 1 2 California Baptist and North Alabama began transitions from NCAA Division II in July 2018. Both schools become full D-I members in the 2022–23 school year.
- ↑ After the 2018–19 school year, Long Island University will merge the Division I athletic program of its Brooklyn campus with the Division II athletic program of its Post campus, creating a single Division I program that will compete under the LIU name.[2]
- ↑ LIU has announced that the unified women's soccer program will move to the Post campus in Brookville, New York.[2]
- ↑ The Blackbirds nickname will presumably be retired after the athletic merger. The new LIU nickname will be selected by alumni and students of both campuses (Brooklyn and Post).[2]
- ↑ The unified LIU athletic program will inherit the Northeast Conference membership of the Brooklyn campus.[2]
