ARKADELPHIA – The Ouachita men's soccer team begins the 2025 season this Thursday night, September 4, on the road against Union.

Kickoff is set for 7:30 p.m. Live stats and live video links can be found at www.OBUtigers.com/coverage. Union broadcasts through FloSports, which requires a subscription.

Ouachita head coach Wes Holifield is in his second year at the helm of the Tiger program. He welcomes back 14 lettermen from last year's squad and ushers in 20 newcomers.

Highlighting the returners are All-Great American Conference honorees Kristian Baker and Dillon Staal. Baker returns as one of the anchors of back row along with Staal, who was third in all of NCAA Division II last season with 100 saves in 17 games in between the posts.

Union is located in Jackson, Tennessee and is a member of the Gulf South Conference. This is the fifth straight season Ouachita has taken on the Bulldogs in either late August or early September.

Following Thursday night's game, the Tigers stay in Tennessee to take on Christian Brothers, another GSC school, on Saturday.
