Cochise Women’s Soccer Announces Spring 2026 Exhibition Schedule
DOUGLAS, Ariz. — Coming off a historic and championship-filled fall season, Cochise College Women's Soccer is set to continue its momentum into the spring with a challenging and exciting 2026 exhibition schedule.
The Apaches are coming off one of the most successful campaigns in program history, highlighted by an NJCAA Region I Championship and West District title in the fall of 2025. Under head coach Santos Rangel and assistant coach Ivana Siles, Cochise established itself as one of the premier programs in the region, combining strong defense, balanced scoring, and championship-level depth.
With that foundation in place, the spring schedule will provide valuable development opportunities while testing the Apaches against top collegiate and club competition.
