LYNCHBURG, Va. - The Randolph women's soccer team begins its 2026 campaign at home on Tuesday when Meredith College comes to Hill City for a 6 p.m. start. The team was selected ninth in the ODAC Preseason Poll that was announced Wednesday after coming off a 6-9-1, 3-7 (ODAC) record.

The WildCats bring back 15 returners, including leading goal scorer Madison Booker. She led the team with six goals last season. 

After graduating two-year starting keeper Rachel Fields, the WildCats turn to a new trio to defend the net: senior Abby Gilbert and first-years Sam Arrendondo and Kacie Walker.

"We are looking forward to a great 2026 season," Coach Kevin Porterfield said. "We have a solid group of returners along with a great group of first-years who will have an immediate impact. Seniors Madison Booker, Jordyn Anderson, Abby Gilbert, Keghan Marion, Amanda Ramirez-Rodriguez, and Madison Ray will provide leadership on and off the field."

The 'Cats have a total of 10 first-year players joining the squad this season. All will look to see time on the field over the course of the season.
