STANG GANG MEN'S SOCCER PODCAST with Michael Meachum (Dec. 9, 2025)

2023 Stang Gang Men's Soccer Podcast with Michael Meachum


December 09, 2025
This week's Stang Gang Podcast features complete coverage of Midwestern State Men's Soccer and an interview with head coach Michael Meachum.

Midwestern State is making its third-ever appearance in the national semifinals and reached the NCAA DII Men's Soccer Final Four for the first time since 2010.

The Mustangs advanced with a thrilling 3-2 overtime victory at Point Loma in the Super Region 4 final in San Diego on Saturday afternoon. It was the second extra-time victory for Midwestern State in the NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship. Parker Plaxco, Gabriel Gacovicaj and Dereck Espinal scored for the Mustangs. Espinal scored the game-winner in the eighth minute of overtime, and the "golden goal" propelled Midwestern State into the national semifinals.

Midwestern State faces a fourth opponent that it has not faced before in the tournament as the No. 3-seeded Mustangs tangle with second-seeded Southern New Hampshire on Friday night at Weidner Field in Colorado Springs. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. CST. 

The Penmen have shutout their first three opponents in the tournament and defeated Gannon in the Super Region 1 final, 5-0.
