Princeton University’s men’s soccer program has been honored with the 2025‑26 United Soccer Coaches Team Academic Award, a distinction that celebrates squads that combine competitive success with scholarly achievement.
Academic Excellence Meets Athletic Dominance
The Tigers posted an immaculate Ivy League slate in 2025, finishing unbeaten and capturing both the league championship and tournament title, a feat that underscores the team’s tactical cohesion and resilience.
Beyond the scoreboard, the award reflects the program’s commitment to academic rigor, as each player maintained a cumulative GPA of at least 3.0, meeting the stringent criteria set by the coaches’ association.
Looking ahead, Princeton will begin its 2026 campaign on August 28 with a home fixture against Villanova, a match that promises to extend the team’s momentum as it seeks to defend its recent triumphs.
