SEGUIN, Texas — With the kickoff of the 2025 NCAA Division-III men’s soccer just 10 days away, the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) announced its preseason coaches’ poll Tuesday afternoon.
As voted on by the league’s head coaches, the Bulldogs were voted to finish fourth in the SCAC standings with 114 total points, predicted to finish behind 20th-ranked Colorado College, St. Thomas, and Concordia (TX). Texas Lutheran is coming off back-to-back .700-plus winning percentage seasons for the first time since the Bulldogs joined the SCAC prior to the 2013 season.
Junior captain Carson Alldredge (Spring/Klein) returns as the lone All-SCAC honoree from last season while 2023 All-SCAC honoree, Preston Huff (Houston/Cy Fair) returns after missing a majority of last season due to injury to lead a young Bulldogs team that will feature 14 freshmen as TLU looks to replace a massive 17-member senior class from a season ago.
The Bulldogs will continue their preseason schedule this week as they face Texas A&M – San Antonio on Wednesday, Aug. 20 at 7:30 p.m. at Gustafson Field.
