"OWU always felt like home. I loved the small campus feel, and they had one of the best zoology programs of schools I visited. OWU allowed me the flexibility to still be able to play and compete at a high level."

The Battling Bishop women's and men's soccer teams play our home games at the Jay Martin Soccer Complex.

Named the Jay Martin Soccer Complex in 2013 in recognition of the longtime Ohio Wesleyan men's soccer coach, the facility is widely regarded as among the Midwest's finest for soccer.

In addition to the lighted game field, which is still known as Roy Rike Field, the facility includes a fully-enclosed press box, aluminum bleacher seating, a building housing locker rooms and offices, a state-of-the-art irrigation system, and practice fields that can accommodate both Bishop teams simultaneously.
