Squad composition

How the 40-player squad breaks down by position, as published by N.C. Wesleyan for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

• Goalkeepers5
• Defenders12
• Midfielders11 (10)
• Forwards12 (11)

1 player is listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players. 1 player has no position published.

Who is leaving, and when

8 of the 40 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 20% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 5 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 forward. 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

N.C. Wesleyan publishes a squad of 40 for 2026-27. The NCAA recorded 53 for the season before — 13 more 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.
