SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. - Head coach Chris Brown and the University of San Francisco men's soccer program officially released its schedule for the upcoming 2025 season today.

"We're eager to kick off the 2025 season with a roster full of talented and determined student-athletes - both returning and new," said Brown. "After a strong second place finish last year, the team is hungry to take the next step. Every single game on our schedule will be a battle, and we're ready to embrace the challenge. We're excited to defend Negoesco Stadium and continue to build our reputation as a tough team to visit in the WCC. We believe our demanding nonconference slate will prepare us for another competitive conference season. We hope to see everyone out at Negoesco this coming fall!"

Brown enters his fifth season at the helm of the green and gold after finishing 7-6-4 (5-1-2 WCC) in 2024. Notably, San Francisco's conference record helped the Dons secure a second-place finish in the WCC, the highest finish in the conference for the program since the Dons won the WCC title in 2017.

Notably, San Francisco returns offensive firepower in WCC All-Conference Second Team selections Isaiah Easley (4 goals) and David Raphael (4 goals) as well as WCC All-Freshman Team selection Brayden Beason (5 goals).

The 2025 schedule features 19 total matches - two exhibitions, eight home matches and eleven road matches. Beginning against local opponents, San Francisco will start their new season with an exhibition at Stanford on Aug. 10 before returning home to the Hilltop to take on San José State in an exhibition at Negoesco Stadium on Aug. 16. Following the matchup with the Spartans, San Francisco will host UC Davis in its regular season opener on Aug. 21.

Shortly thereafter, USF will travel to Big Ten champion Indiana for a matchup in Bloomington on Aug. 24 before returning to the Bay Area for a battle at California on Aug. 28.

Moving into September, San Francisco will welcome CSU Bakersfield for a Labor Day showdown on Sept. 1. Subsequently, the Dons then head back out on the road for matches at San José State (Sept. 4) and Cal Poly (Sept. 11). Across the next three weeks, the green and gold will host Sacramento State on Sept. 15 followed by their West Coast Conference opener against Oregon State in San Francisco on Sept. 27.

Looking at October, San Francisco will begin the month on the road at San Diego on Oct. 4 before squaring off against Gonzaga at home on Oct. 10. USF will then remain in Northern California for road matches at Pacific (Oct. 15), Santa Clara (Oct. 19) and Stanford (Oct. 22).
