COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – On the heels of a historic campaign in 2024, the University of Colorado Colorado Springs men's soccer team has secured the No. 17 ranking in the 2025 United Soccer Coaches National Preseason Poll, as announced by the organization on Thursday afternoon.
After winning the 2025 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship, Lynn University was tabbed as the No. 1 ranked team in the national preseason poll. The Mountain Lions were joined inside the top 25 by a pair of RMAC institutions, with Colorado State University Pueblo landing at No. 3 and Fort Lewis College sitting at No. 6 after meeting in last season's Super Region 4 title match.
The UCCS men's soccer team produced one of the most successful seasons in program history a year ago as the squad established new program-bests with 14 wins and a .730 winning percentage while attaining a program-high No. 3 ranking in the Week 9 United Soccer Coaches National Poll. On the back of a 14-3-4 overall record, the Mountain Lions earned a selection to the NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Tournament for the second consecutive season and secured the right to host their first NCAA match in program history as the No. 3 seed in Super Region 4.
The 2025 edition of the Mountain Lions is set to welcome eight incoming freshman and five transfers to a talented group of 19 returners from last season. UCCS will bring back a trio of All-RMAC selections from a season ago with first team honoree
