Rankings from United Soccer Coaches Source: OVC |
The 2025 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team represent Southern Illinois University Edwardsville during the 2025 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, the school's 59th season. The Cougars are coached by Cale Wassermann. The team plays its home games on Bob Guelker Field at the Ralph Korte Stadium as a member of the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC). The Cougars are the defending OVC regular season and tournament champions.
The Cougars return fourteen players from 2024 as well as three redshirts. They are joined by six freshmen and five transfers from other schools. [1] None of the Cougars' top scorers from 2024 return, but most of the defenders do. [2]
Following consecutive Ohio Valley Conference regular season and tournament championships, SIUE men's soccer was voted the favorites to do it again. The Cougars received 14 of a possible 16 first-place votes and 98 total points in the preseason poll. The top six teams in league play advance to the OVC Championship tournament, with the first and second seeds receiving byes straight through to the semifinal round, and the tournament winner earns the league's automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. [3]
