SALISBURY, Md. – The Salisbury University men's soccer team released its schedule for the 2026 season on Wednesday afternoon. The Sea Gulls will play seven of their 18 regular season matches inside the friendly confines of the Gerry DiBartolo Sea Gull Soccer Complex.
The campaign begins with a trip to Chestertown to face Eastern Shore rival Washington (Md.) on Sept. 1 before the Sea Gulls host the Elmer Lord Memorial Tournament on Sept. 4-5. SU will face Eastern Mennonite on Friday at 2 p.m. and take on Albertus Magnus on Saturday at noon. The Maroon and Gold will head to St. Mary's City, Maryland, the following weekend to clash with Lehman and Baruch in the Seahawk Classic.
Salisbury will spend four of their final six bouts in September as visitors, hosting Rutgers-Camden on Sept. 16, before doing battle with Roanoke (Sept. 19), Lynchburg (Sept. 20), NC Wesleyan (Sept. 23 in Newport News, Virginia) and DeSales (Sept. 26) on the road. The Sea Gulls will wrap up September with a home tilt against Catholic, then square off with Coast-to-Coast Athletic Conference (C2C) rival Mary Washington (Oct. 3) in Fredericksburg, Virginia to turn the calendar.
The Gulls will return home to welcome in Johns Hopkins on Oct. 7, with Senior Day and Homecoming being slated for Oct. 10 when the Sea Gulls duel with St. Mary's (Md.). After three more away contests against Ursinus (Oct. 13), Penn State Abington (Oct. 17) and Regent (Oct. 21), familiar foe Christopher Newport will sail into the nest, marking the final game of the regular season on Oct. 28.
Salisbury will host the C2C Tournament for the first time since 2023. Two quarterfinal contests are tabbed for Thursday, Nov. 5, with the two semifinal bouts on Friday, Nov. 6 and the championship slated for Sunday, Nov. 8.
