Winthrop women’s lacrosse Head Coach Hannah Potter has announced the Eagles’ 2027 schedule, featuring a mix of nonconference matchups and Big South competition.
The Eagles open the season at home Feb. 6 against Elon before traveling to Virginia to face George Mason and Delaware State. The George Mason matchup marks the first meeting between the programs since 2015, while the Delaware State contest will be the first in program history.
Winthrop continues its road schedule against Davidson on Feb. 25 before returning to Eagle Field for home games against Austin Peay State on Feb. 28 and Charlotte on March 3. The Eagles defeated Austin Peay 17-6 in their first meeting last season.
Other nonconference opponents include Kennesaw State, Stetson and Coastal Carolina. Winthrop will look to defend its recent success against Kennesaw State after earning an 8-7 overtime victory last season.
Big South play begins March 31 against Presbyterian. The Eagles will then travel to Wofford before hosting Radford on April 10 and visiting High Point on April 14. Mercer visits Rock Hill on April 17.
The regular-season schedule continues with a road matchup against Gardner-Webb on April 24 and the final home game against Longwood on April 28.
Winthrop closes the regular season May 1 against Furman in Greenville.
The schedule provides the Eagles with opportunities to build momentum before entering conference competition and pursuing a postseason run.
