For the first time in 27 years, the Washington University men’s soccer program has a new head coach. Months after Joe Clarke announced his retirement in late November after nearly three decades at the helm, WashU Athletics announced Andrew Bordelon as his successor and the seventh head coach in the program’s history in a statement on March 7. 

With the loss, the Bears end their 2021 season with an overall record of 13-3-1. 

The Bears will face the University of Wisconsin-Superior in the first round of the playoffs Saturday.

Oscar Umar’s journey to WashU reflects the talent, determination and profound love for soccer that has made him such an asset for the Bears this season. 

The team remained No. 9 in the United Soccer Coaches rankings Tuesday. 

The men captured two shutout victories while the women beat Fontbonne University for their first victory under interim head coach Stephanie Gabbert.

From football to soccer and cross country, athletes and coaches have never been more excited to step back onto the field and compete with some modicum of normalcy.

In a quiet conclusion to what has been a roller coaster of regular season play, the Washington University men’s soccer team posted a 0-0 tie against undefeated No. 1 University of Chicago in double overtime Saturday night.

Star senior forward Jack West scored 41 seconds into the game and added an assist in the second half, and the Washington University men’s soccer team cruised to a 3-0 victory in its season opener vs. Greenville Tuesday night at Francis Field.

Despite generating numerous scoring chances and dominating possession, the Washington University men’s soccer team was stuck in a scoreless deadlock for most of the game against Westminster College (Mo.). Yet, sophomore Jake Shapiro’s goal in the 80th minute lifted the Bears to a 1-0 victory and gave head coach Joe Clarke his 200th victory as Wash. U.’s coach in his 18th season at the helm.
