The Gonzaga Bulldogs Men's Soccer program represents Gonzaga University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. The Bulldogs play in the West Coast Conference. The Bulldogs are coached by Paul Meehan, who took over the head coaching position on January 1, 2018, from Einar Thorarinsson. [2]

Contents

Thorarinsson had coached the team since he joined them in 1995 from Whitworth College. During his tenure they were transformed from a mediocre team, in 1994 they had gone 2-13-1, into an annual contender for the WCC men's soccer crown. He also led the Zags to their only two NCAA Tournament appearances in 2001 and 2007. [3]
