WEST LONG BRANCH, NJ – Seven home matches highlight the 2025 Monmouth University men's soccer schedule released by head coach Robert McCourt. 
 
The Hawks are coming off a 2025 season in which they reached the Coastal Athletic Association (CAA) Tournament and went undefeated at home with two wins over nationally ranked opponents. 
 
This fall slate will look a little different as the CAA is split into a North and South division and the Hawks will face each of the North opponents in a home and away series (Northeastern, Hofstra, Drexel, Stony Brook). The nonconference slate will pit Monmouth against squads from the Big 10, Big East and MAAC.
 
"We are excited about the 2025 season schedule," said McCourt. "Our preseason, nonconference and CAA games all will bring difficult challenges. The new CAA North and South format will be a change to the conference games. We are excited to get started."
 
The 2025 campaign gets underway on August 21 as the Hawks play host to New Haven. It will be the first ever meeting between the two squads. 
 
The Hawks hit the road for the first time as they visit Fairfield on August 25. Monmouth picked up a 4-0 win over its former MAAC rival last season.
 
CAA play gets an early start as Stony Brook visits Hesse Field on the Great Lawn on August 30. 
 
September begins with a trip to Iona on Sept. 2. The Hawks and Gaels played to a 1-1 tie last season. 
 
The Hawks head to Drexel on Sept. 6 before returning home to host Northeastern on Sept. 13. 
 
Monmouth steps out of conference on Sept. 16 to visit La Salle before traveling to Hofstra on Sept. 20. The Hawks secured a 2-1 win over the Pride last season when Hofstra was ranked No. 12 in the country.
 
September ends with a pair of nonconference games. The Hawks play host to Temple on Sept. 26 before visiting Rutgers on Sept. 30. Monmouth secured a 2-0 win over Temple last season and will be facing Rutgers for the first time since 2015.
 
The Hawks host Drexel on Oct. 4 before visiting Northeastern (Oct. 11) and Stony Brook (Oct. 18).
 
Monmouth returns home for its final two regular season games against St. John's (Oct. 21) and Hofstra (Oct. 26). 
 
The top three teams in the CAA North and South will qualify for the CAA Championship.
