D2 women's soccer colleges

254, in 43 states, counted from Startline’s directory of NCAA and NAIA soccer programs.

California (21), Pennsylvania (21) and Missouri (13).

the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (17), the Conference Carolinas (16) and the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (16).

The median is 29 players, across the 241 rosters we have read and could confirm are 2026-27 squads. The smallest is Wilmington University’s, at 17; the largest is Belmont Abbey College’s, at 52. Roster size is not the number of spots a program recruits each year; how many graduate at each position is what decides that.
