Squad composition
How the 44-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Francis Marion for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers4
- Defenders11 (10)
- Midfielders21 (17)
- Forwards12 (9)
4 players are listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players.
Who is leaving, and when
22 of the 44 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 50% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 12 midfielders, 6 defenders, 6 forwards, 1 goalkeeper. Which programmes lose the most at your position?

Final-year groups are shown in amber. A player listed at two positions is counted under each of them, since they provide cover in either, so the positions on a row can total more than the row itself. Redshirt players are counted in the year they are listed for.

Recent results
Overall record across the last 3 seasons. Soccer is a fall sport, so each season runs from August to a championship in December of the year shown. The NCAA files them by academic year, so the 2025 season appears as 2025-26 on its own site.
