Squad composition
How the 27-player squad breaks down by position, as published by Wisconsin for 2026-27. Players listed at two positions are counted at both, since they provide cover in either.
- Goalkeepers4
- Defenders6
- Midfielders11 (4)
- Forwards13 (6)
7 players are listed at two positions; the figure in brackets counts only single-position players.
Who is leaving, and when
9 of the 27 are in their final year, so on current form that many places open up next summer — 33% of the squad. A redshirt year does not change this: a redshirt senior leaves when a senior does.
Going by position: 3 goalkeepers, 3 forwards, 2 defenders, 2 midfielders.
- Freshman6
4 midfielders3 forwards1 goalkeeper
- Sophomore6
3 defenders3 forwards1 midfielder
- Junior6
4 midfielders4 forwards1 defender
- Senior (final year)8
3 forwards2 goalkeepers2 defenders2 midfielders
- Graduate (final year)1
1 goalkeeper
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.
| Season | W | L | T | Win % |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 14 | 6 | 2 | 0.682 |
| 2024 | 10 | 6 | 5 | 0.595 |
| 2023 | 14 | 5 | 4 | 0.696 |
