Athletics: Men's Soccer Dominates WCC Awards

Following another triumphant regular season that ended with a third straight West Coast Conference Championship, the University of San Diego men's soccer team dominated this season's WCC Awards. Toreros' head coach Brian Quinn was named the WCC's Coach of the Year and Donovan Parisian was named the league's Goalkeeper of the Year to cap off his tremendous season. 

Quinn and Parisian join eight other USD team members to be selected for all-conference recognition. Cesar Bahena, Samy Kanaan, Parisian and Ethan Warne were all picked to the All-WCC First Team, Jack Sandmeyer was an All-WCC Second Team pick, Steven Ramirez and Oliver Rhodes earned All-WCC Honorable Mention nods and Mathias Bauer and Luca Fava made the All-WCC Freshmen Team. 

Quinn, earned his second ever WCC Coach of the Year award as his Toreros won a career-best 13 matches during the 2024 season to go along with seven wins during WCC play. During Quinn's tenure at the helm of San Diego's program, he's accumulated a 56-41-20 all-time record in seven seasons, which includes a 28-15-7 mark in conference action. 

With Quinn's second WCC Coach of the Year award, he now joins his mentor and former San Diego head coach Seamus McFadden as Torero head coaches to win the award multiple times. McFadden won nine times during his tenure, which is the most since the conference introduced the award in 1988. 

Parisian, in his second season for USD took home the conference's Goalkeeper of the Year Award after playing and starting in 13 matches as he recorded 27 total saves on the season to go along with six clean sheets. 

One of the highlights of this season came in the Toreros' 1-0 road victory over San Francisco when he saved a career-high seven shots and followed that up with two more saves and a shut out over Pacific as San Diego earned a road sweep over a pair of Northern California foes. 

In total, Parisian earned the WCC's most Defensive Player of the Week awards with four as it helped him make the All-WCC First Team in his first full-time season as USD's goalkeeper.
