MORAGA, Calif. — In his 13th season as head coach of the Gaels, Adam Cooper and his staff have lifted the men's soccer program to new heights in what's already become the greatest season the program has ever seen and one of the all-time best Saint Mary's teams across all sports.
The Gaels were ranked No. 6 in this week's United Soccer Coaches poll, their highest ranking of all-time. After their seventh straight win to begin the season, Saint Mary's entered the coaches' poll on Sep. 18 at No. 17 and have climbed every week since.
