Cochran, GA – Middle Georgia State University head men's soccer coach Scott Henderson has announced the 2024 men's soccer season schedule. The Knights will enter their third season with Henderson at the helm as they look to make a push to the SSAC Tournament for the first time since 2021.

"We want our last season with the NAIA to be a memorable one, as we establish our expectation of success. MGA has a proud soccer tradition and it's time to bring that high level of achievement back to the field. I'm so proud of our guys and how they have represented MGA. We're excited to have returning our senior captain James Skelton's who has shown great patience and loyalty to our program. Also returning, is a committed core of young players who put in significant minutes last season, such as Moos Zwerts, Tobias Prokert, Chase Giron, Landen Laris, and Sho Mineji. We have a great recruiting class coming in to add to the program and they believe in where we are taking this team. This group of talent and dedication will initiate the breakout season MGA has been driving toward." said Henderson.
