Squad composition

How the 30-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Columbia for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers3
  • Defenders10
  • Midfielders9
  • Forwards8

Who is leaving, and when

4 of the 30 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 13% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 2 forwards, 1 goalkeeper, 1 defender.

  • Freshman7

    3 defenders2 midfielders2 forwards

  • Sophomore11

    4 midfielders3 defenders3 forwards1 goalkeeper

  • Junior8

    3 defenders3 midfielders1 goalkeeper1 forward

  • Senior (final year)4

    2 forwards1 goalkeeper1 defender

  • Graduate (final year)0

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.
