Preseason

Twelve players returned from the 2017 team, along with three players who were redshirted as freshmen. Eleven of the returners started games for the 2017 Cougars. They are joined by seven freshmen and seven student-athletes who have transferred from other schools.

The Cougars played two exhibition games, both versus teams from the American Athletic Conference, losing 0–3 at Tulsa and gaining a 0–0 draw while hosting Cincinnati.

In the preseason poll of the MAC's soccer coaches, the Cougars were picked to finish fourth, behind #4 ranked Akron (also named favorite to win the MAC tournament), #14 Western Michigan, and West Virginia. :[3]

In the Top Drawer Soccer' listing of picks as the Preseason Top 20 players in the MAC, Jorge Gonzalez was #6, Johan DePicker was #10, and Greg Solawa was #18' :[4]

Season

The season opener was against the Memphis Tigers in Memphis, where the Cougar have never won, going 0–5–1 since 1987. (Memphis is 0–6–0 in Edwardsville in the same span. In the 18th minute, McLean stole the ball and passed to an open Gonzalea, who opened the scoring for the game and the season. The Tigers got an equalizer on a free kick in the 59th minute, but in the 61st minute, McLean put the Cougars back on top, with an assist from Pettersen. Reminiscent of last year, the defense gave up a late goal, as Memphis scored in the 86th minute to send the game to overtime. Both defenses stymied the offenses in OT, and the game ended in a 2–2 draw. The Tigers outshot the Cougars for the game, but SIUE was hotter in the second half, and new keeper Heim made eight saves. As would be the case through the season, SIUE displayed a deep bench, with 19 players seeing action, eleven playing their first game as Cougars (1 redshirt freshman, 4 true freshmen, and six transfers).[5][6]

The Cougers opened a five-game homestand versus the UMKC Kangaroos, coached by SIUE Athletic Hall of Fame member Rick Benben. SIUE dominated action, but UMKC's goalkeeper made nine saves, several spectacularly. With only a minute left in regulation time, Solawa made a pass to Gonzalez that was headed into the net for a Cougars win. [7]

Coaches

2018 will be Mario Sanchez' fourth year as the Cougars' head coach. Jeremy Proud is in his third season as assistant coach and Simon Bird is in his second.[8]
