MIAC Champions, men's soccer action

2013 MIAC Playoff Championship

Winners of five MIAC regular-season titles (2007, 2008, 2009, 2011, and 2012) and a postseason title in 2013, the Knights have advanced to the postseason every year since 2007, the longest active streak among MIAC squads. Carleton has posted a winning record in 13 consecutive seasons and 17 of the last 18 campaigns while playing in one of the most competitive men's soccer conferences in the country.  The Knights made NCAA Championships appearances in 2008, 2012, and 2013. Carleton owns a 75-24-13 record (.741) in conference games over the last 11 seasons.

The 2008 squad earned the school's first berth to the NCAA Championship Tournament and advanced to the third round ("Sweet Sixteen") and set a program record with 17 victories, a figure the 2012 team matched. The following season, the Knights won an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships after winning the MIAC postseason crown, capping off a 7-2-1 conference season (15-3-3 overall). Leading the charge into their back-to-back appearances at the national tournament were two-time All-American Neil Bartholomay '14 and All-American Branden McGarrity '16, who would go on to break the program’s all-time goal-scoring record.

In addition to success on the field, the Knights pride themselves on their success in the classroom. The squad has received 21 straight NSCAA team academic awards, including three years in which the Knights posted the top team grade point average in all of NCAA Division III.
