2025 roster — 27 players, 17-9 · RPI 8 · Big West, 14 still on this roster

The squad as the school published it that season, saved at the time — the page it came from was replaced when the next season started. Held separately from the roster above, so a man on both appears once in each rather than twice in one. Now is where he is playing today.
