Pace Men’s Soccer Prepares for Long-Awaited Return in 2025

It has been thirty-five years since Pace men’s soccer last competed in Pleasantville. That will change in fall 2025, when the program returns to the pitch at Northwell Stadium under the leadership of head coach Edward Evans.

In the 1990 season—the final year before the sport was removed from the athletics catalogue—Pace competed in the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). The program will rejoin intercollegiate competition in fall 2025 as a member of the Northeast-10 (NE10) Conference.

“This upcoming season is more than just the return of men’s soccer—it’s the start of a new legacy at Pace,” said Evans. “Our student-athletes understand the weight of this moment, and they’re ready to represent the University.”

With a full eighteen-game schedule, the Blue and Gold will open the season on September 4 against Goldey-Beacom College at 3:30 p.m. For much of the season, Pace will enjoy home-field advantage at Northwell Stadium, hosting eleven of its eighteen regular-season matches. The program will also feature four promotional events during the season, including Alumni Day, Quickstrike FC Night, Blue Out, and participation in Homecoming festivities alongside Pace Goes Pink.

“We’re not just stepping back onto the field,” Evans added. “We’re building a program that honors the past while aiming for a bold future.”

Pace men’s soccer will also field a developmental team in 2025, which will compete in a ten-game schedule, in addition to two preseason contests.
