Squad composition

How the 28-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Minnesota for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers3
  • Defenders6
  • Midfielders10 (8)
  • Forwards10 (8)

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

Who is leaving, and when

9 of the 28 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 32% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 5 forwards, 2 defenders, 2 midfielders, 1 goalkeeper.

  • Freshman3

    3 midfielders

  • Sophomore10

    4 midfielders3 defenders2 goalkeepers2 forwards

  • Junior5

    3 forwards1 defender1 midfielder

  • Senior (final year)7

    3 forwards2 defenders2 midfielders1 goalkeeper

  • Graduate (final year)2

    2 forwards

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. 1 player has no class year published and is not counted above.

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.
