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

- Junior5

- Senior (final year)7

- 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.
| Season | W | L | T | Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 6 | 8 | 3 | 0.441 |
