The University of Wisconsin‑Superior’s athletic department released the 2025 men’s and women’s soccer calendars this week, outlining a slate that begins with two preseason exhibitions for the men and a similar pair for the women.
Both squads will use those tune‑up games to fine‑tune tactics before the first official contests arrive, with the men opening their regular season on September 1 at St. Scholastica and the women following on September 4 at St. Olaf.
Championship Ambitions Drive Early Preparations
The men’s first home appearance is slated for September 9 against Gustavus Adolphus, while the women’s home opener will come a week later on September 6 versus UW‑Stout, scheduled for a 2 p.m. kickoff.
Conference play for the UMAC begins on September 16 for both teams, as they travel to face North Central, and the league tournaments are set to commence on November 4, promising high‑stakes matchups.
Coach Joe Mooney, who has guided the men’s program for a decade, is chasing a tenth straight UMAC championship, while Nick Piazza leads the women’s side, looking to build on last year’s 11‑8‑4 record and extend their five‑year conference title streak.
The upcoming schedule not only highlights early‑season road trips but also underscores the programs’ consistent performance in the UMAC, positioning both teams as favorites as the season unfolds.
