Gonzaga is represented on the soccer field by three teams—Varsity, Junior Varsity, and Freshman. Under Head Coach Scott Waller, the Varsity team has developed into a local and national power.
In 2022, the Eagles finished the year 25-0-1, winning the Jesuit Classic, WCAC, and DCSAA Championship, and earning rankings of 7th nationally and 1st in the Washington Post. In 2023, despite having graduated 16 seniors the year prior, the team reached both the WCAC and DCSAA finals.
This fall, the team will return the majority of its starting lineup including captains Ivan Hughes ‘25 and Thomas Gabay ‘25. We look forward to a great season on the pitch. On this page, you'll find the team's schedule and roster, as well as results after each competition. Go Gonzaga!
