Montgomery, AL — The United States Sports University Eagles men's soccer team opened their 2025 season on the road Thursday night, showing resilience and determination in a challenging match up that ended in a 5–0 decision against Faulkner University.

Despite the final scoreline, the Eagles displayed promising moments on both sides of the field. Goalkeeper AJ Chambers faced a demanding test in net and turned away multiple quality shots, keeping the Eagles within reach through long stretches of play. Chambers' performance underscored his ability to anchor the defense against high-pressure opponents.

On the offensive side, the Eagles worked to generate scoring opportunities, highlighted by shots from Carter Willis and Nathan Webb that pushed Faulkner's goalkeeper into action. The midfield unit contributed with sustained effort to break down the opposing defense, showing glimpses of chemistry that will serve the team as the season progresses.

For many members of the squad, this marked their first appearance in a USSU uniform, providing valuable experience at the collegiate level. The result places USSU at 0–1 overall, with their next match scheduled against the University of Mobile at the Fairhope Soccer Complex on Saturday, August 23rd.
