With conference games just starting up for most teams, I thought it would be interesting to look at the teams that have yet to lose a game.  As of 9/24, there are 38 teams yet to lose a game in NCAA D3 Men's Soccer in 2025.  If I missed one, let me know. 

Since we all know that a non-conference winning schedule can be constructed if you play the "right" (bad enough) teams, I throw-in the Massey Strength of Schedule ranking for each team.  This is not the same as NPI strength rankings, but it gives a rough approximation of the difficulty of a team's early season schedule, which places some undefeated records in context.  Some teams' SoS will get better when they play more conference games because conference opponents are stronger (e.g., Emory, Whittier, Case, CMU, Bethel (MN), Millsaps), while other teams' SoS will get worse because many of their conference opponents are weak (e.g,. Colorado College, Roger Williams).

I didn't cross-check against school websites to confirm records are correct.  The order of teams is based on where they showed up in Massey ratings

I'll try to update as teams drop off this list.

UDallas has not been competitive for years and making matters worse they're being led this year by an alum ('21, '23) new to the program who was named acting HC.  His total coaching experience consists of one year as a volunteer assistant at Concordia(TX).  Their former HC (20+ years) left this summer to pursue a position outside of sports, but with a total of five wins the previous three seasons combined it was obviously time for a (more planned) change.

In 2024, University of Dallas' only win was against Dallas Christian, an NCCAA school.  Since it already played them and they tied 0-0, I'm not optimistic UD will win a game this season.

One less undefeatable. Hop scored 3 nice goals over McDaniel. McDaniel had a soft schedule arguably, but won or tied before this.  1-1-1 in the Cent. Conf now

Here's the match that should have been in the Ejay-Simple Coach pool

Yet to Win v. Yet to Lose

St. Scholastica (0-7-3) v. Bethel (MN) (7-0-2)

In the 69th minute, St. Scholastica is winning 2-1 over Bethel

FINAL:  St. Scholastica 2 - Bethel (MN) 1

St. Scholastica gets its first win and Bethel its first loss!
