Stanislaus State kicks off the new campaign on Thursday, September 4, hosting Seattle Pacific at 7:30 p.m. Two days later, the Warriors will take on Western Washington on Saturday, September 6 at 7 p.m. The Vikings finished second in the GNAC in 2024 with a 10-5-3 record.

Coming off their first winning season since 2015 (7-6-5 overall, 3-4-4 CCAA), the Warriors return 14 players, including two All-CCAA selections Angel Ruiz-Hernandez, Sammy Villanueva, along with Adrian Yepez. Villanueva earned All-CCAA honors for the second straight year after starting all 18 matches and scoring two goals. Yepez contributed three goals including two game-winners and an assist in his debut season. Ruiz-Hernandez posted six shutouts and a 1.19 goals-against average, including a standout seven-save performance against then-No. 2 Cal State LA.

The Warriors will then embark on a two-match road swing in the Pacific Northwest, facing Simon Fraser in Burnaby, B.C., on September 11 at 5:00 p.m., followed by Saint Martin's in Lacey, Wash., on September 13 at 1:00 p.m.
