Story
Our players are some of the hardest working students on campus, and I hope you want to encourage them in their efforts. They work hard every day to balance their love of the sport with the demands of the classroom, and their experience as a student-athlete will build character and skills that last a lifetime!
Reaching our goal of $5,000 will allow us to continue to remain competitive by offsetting the expenses for new uniforms, training equipment, indoor training time, and recruiting.
Head coach Nicholas Deren 99 entered his tenth full season and 11th overall at the helm for the red, white and blue as the program entered its 33rd year. Deren, a former Detroit Mercy player, is in his 15th season overall on the staff of the Titans. He had 58 wins to his name entering the 2019 season.

In a historic event at the University of Detroit Mercy, the Titan men's soccer team officially helped usher in the newly installed lights at Titan Field with the squad hosting Milwaukee underneath the lights on Sept. 14. It was the first night soccer game in the 27-year history of Titan Field.
For the second-consecutive season, the Titan men's soccer program had a team GPA that was in the top-five in the nation with Detroit Mercy sporting a GPA of 3.60 during the 2018-19 academic school year. The Titans ranked No. 4 and were one of four squads above the 3.60 GPA mark in Division I. Across all divisions, the Titans had the eighth-best team GPA.
Every year we remain strong competitors within the Horizon League Conference competing at the NCAA Division I level. As our conference increases in size and competition, it is our goal to make soccer the best possible experience for each student-athlete.
All gifts no matter the size will help our team with a better student-athlete experience and our fans with high-quality team performances.
We hope you will make your impact today and thank you for your support!
