CEDARVILLE, Ohio – The United Soccer Coaches Division II No. 21 Yellow Jackets kick off the campaign at home Thursday night vs. Indianapolis.
 
Game time is set for 7:00 p.m. EDT with live coverage on FloCollege and SIDEARM Stats.
 
On Saturday, Cedarville travels to Chicago to meet up with Roosevelt in another non-conference assignment at 8:00 p.m. EDT.
 
Head Coach Brett Faro, who enters his 14th year at the helm, guided the Jackets to an unbeaten regular season in 2025.
 
Cedarville finished 12-2-7 overall, reached the G-MAC semifinals, and advanced to the second round of the NCAA Division II Championship.
 
G-MAC Goalkeeper of the Year and NCCAA All-America First Team selection Eben Dewhurst is back in the nets.
 
Also returning are Yonis Velasquez-Quezada and Pablo Novás Cortiñas, who were both voted to the All-G-MAC Second Team.
 
The Yellow Jackets are No. 2 in the G-MAC preseason poll. Defending champ and 25th-ranked Tiffin edged CU for the top spot by a point.
 
The two sides play one another twice in a span of 12 days late in the season.
