GREENSBORO, N.C. – UNC Greensboro (UNCG) men's soccer Head Coach Chris Rich has announced the team's 2025 schedule.

The Spartans are looking to build off last season's 10-2-5 overall record and 3-1-1 finish in The Southern Conference (SoCon) for a share of the regular season title with East Tennessee State (ETSU). UNCG's season concluded with a quarterfinal tie in the conference tournament against Furman, where the Paladins advanced to the semifinals by winning 6-5 in a penalty kick shootout.

"Our 2025 schedule is once again highly competitive and gives us the opportunity to put together an at-large resume, if executed," said Coach Rich. "We first will play high-level competition in preseason, which should challenge us properly and prepare us for the regular season.
 
"We have around ten top-50 level games, which is a huge task for sure, but I believe we have a veteran group that is ready to take that on."
