Thanks for supporting OWU Men’s Soccer!

 We are proud of our 2023 season, competing at a high level within our conference, region, and the country.  The season “began” with our 14^th team trip to Germany in August.  It was an incredible experience for our student-athletes, staying with German host families, playing multiple games and seeing Harry Kane’s first game for Bayern Munich! 

 As always, we accomplished great things on and off the field with our program:

 

·      Jay coached his 1000th game at OWU, defeating Hiram 4-1 on 10/10/23

·      We reached 900 wins as a program, defeating Oberlin 2-0 on 10/7/23.  We are the 2^nd program in NCAA history to reach this landmark.

·      Jay reached 750 wins, defeating the eventual national champions 2-1 on 9/8/23

·      We extended our NCAA-record 53^rd consecutive winning season.  

·      We extended our NCAA-record 44th appearance in the NCAA Tournament, falling just short to the defending national champions in the final minute in the 2nd round.

·      Brady West became our 36th All-American and 18th Academic All-American in our program’s history.

·      We finished the season ranked 23rd in the final national rankings

·      We were awarded our 17th Team Academic Award, ranking 6th all-time in D3 history

·      Mason Taylor, Brady West, Jaggar Brooker, and Chris Guerra were awarded All-Region.  For the 3rd straight year, we had more players awarded in our Great Lakes region than any other team.

·      We ranked 3rd in average attendance in D3 soccer!

 Looking towards 2024, we will again have one of the toughest schedules in the country.  We return a great group and have a strong class coming in.  

 We want to thank you for your support. We could not run this program without your continued support. In addition to the needs for each season we are looking to:

·      Update our team gear (new game jerseys and training gear)

·      Enhance game day experience (live stream ALL games, update our PA speakers)

·      Grow our recruiting budget (ability to travel to the best showcases in the country)

·      Improved branding at our soccer complex

 Any donations will go a long way to support one of the best programs in NCAA sports.

 Thank you!
