The Lakers men's soccer team has a record of 3-0 with recent wins over the University of Montevallo by a score of 1-0 and Thomas College by a score of 2-0. It is their best start since 1992 when the program opened up the season with four straight wins.

The Lady Lakers soccer team lost to the University of Montevallo, 3-0.

Both the mens and womens cross country team finished in the top five at the Berry College Inivitational. It was the first time for either team to finish ahead of their rivals at Kennesaw State University. The men, led by junior Mike O'Donnell, finished fourth.
