WILMORE, Ky. (LEX18) — Asbury University men’s and women’s soccer programs are set to begin the 2025 season with experienced coaches, key returners, and a new facility upgrade.
On the men’s side, longtime head coach Ben Andrews enters his 16th year after recently becoming the winningest coach in program history. Andrews reached 133 career victories, passing former head coach and athletic director Cecil Zweifel, who won 132 games from 1972 to 1983.
The Eagles return five starters from back-to-back 10-win seasons and welcome a large incoming class. Asbury was voted fourth in the Collegiate Conference of the South (CCS) preseason poll after advancing to last year’s conference semifinals. The team will play home matches at the brand-new Gray Outdoor Venue, which features a turf field, stadium seating, video board, and skybox suite.
