Squad composition

How the 34-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Southern Ill. for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.

  • Goalkeepers3
  • Defenders7
  • Midfielders14 (10)
  • Forwards12 (8)

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

Who is leaving, and when

7 of the 34 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 21% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.

Going by position: 3 midfielders, 2 defenders, 2 forwards, 1 goalkeeper.

  • Freshman13

    7 forwards4 midfielders2 goalkeepers1 defender1 without a position

  • Sophomore8

    4 midfielders3 defenders2 forwards

  • Junior6

    3 midfielders1 defender1 forward1 without a position

  • Senior (final year)7

    3 midfielders2 defenders2 forwards1 goalkeeper

  • 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.
