Later that evening, Susquehanna women's soccer opens its season at home against Misericordia University at 7 p.m. Both teams will take to Sassafras Field looking to begin the 2026 campaign on a winning note.

On the road, Susquehanna women's volleyball travels to Muhlenberg College for a 7 p.m. season-opening match. The River Hawks will begin their fall slate against the Mules as they look to set the tone for the season. Rounding out Tuesday's action, Susquehanna men's soccer heads to Misericordia for a 7:30 p.m. kickoff. The River Hawks will battle the Cougars under the lights in their first match of the 2026 season.

The Landmark Preseason Polls were announced recently for these four sports in anticipation of the September 1 start date. Field hockey was ranked second in their poll behind last year's conference champion Scranton. The River Hawks have won two of the last three Landmark field hockey titles and have appeared in each of the last three championship games. Women's soccer and women's volleyball were both ranked fourth. Each team reached the Landmark Semifinals in 2025 after thrilling wins in their opening round games. Women's soccer defeated Elizabethtown on the road in penalty kicks, while women's volleyball outlasted Moravian at home in a five-set thriller. Men's soccer took eighth in their poll as a new era begins Tuesday night under new head coach Jeremy Payne. 

With four teams in action, Tuesday marks the beginning of another exciting fall season for Susquehanna University athletics. Fans can follow all four River Hawk teams throughout the season at suriverhawks.com and across Susquehanna Athletics social media.
