Squad composition
How the 47-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Lees-McRae for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers6
- Defenders12
- Midfielders22
- Forwards7
Who is leaving, and when
9 of the 47 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 19% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 5 midfielders, 3 defenders, 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.

Two figures that disagree
Lees-McRae publishes a squad of 47 for 2026-27. The NCAA recorded 36 for the season before — 11 fewer than the college now lists. Both are as published. Ordinary turnover explains a few players; a gap this size usually means the two are counting different groups, such as everyone who trained against those registered to play.
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.
| Season | W | L | T | Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 6 | 6 | 7 | 0.500 |
| 2024 | 4 | 5 | 7 | 0.469 |
| 2023 | 4 | 8 | 5 | 0.382 |
