MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The awards continue to pile in as Brooks Monaghan and staff were named as the United Soccer Coaches All-South Region Staff of the Year. Along with Monaghan, Jonny Walker, Jordan Darling and Ted Bartels were honored with the award.
Memphis, who finished the season 11-5-6, protected their crown as they earned their second consecutive American Athletic Conference Championship and made program history after defeating #2 Saint Louis and Mississippi State in the first and second rounds of the NCAA Tournament to advance to the Round of 16 for the first time ever. Their historic postseason run included shutouts over East Carolina, SMU, Saint Louis and Mississippi State.
The Tigers were just one of two unseeded teams to make it to the Round of 16 this season.
For the year, Memphis outscored their opponents by 17 goals while holding teams to less than eight shots per match. The Tigers notched 10 shutouts during the season with four of them coming during postseason play. This season also marked the 19th consecutive year that the team has finished with a 500 winning percentage or better and the seventh straight season the team has finished with a .600 winning percentage or better.
Memphis was also named as the 23rd best soccer program in the country over the past five seasons by SoccerWire earlier this season.
The staff will now be placed onto the National Staff of the Year ballot. The National Staff of the Year award will be announced on December 16.
