SAN BRUNO, Calif. – Oregon State picked up three major awards as the West Coast Conference announced its 2024 Men’s Soccer All-Conference and Major Awards on Wednesday. All six individual awards and the All-WCC teams were voted on solely by the Conference’s nine coaches.
The All-WCC First Team is comprised of a specific position format of three forwards three midfielders three defenders, one goalkeeper and one "wildcard" spot given to the student-athlete remaining with the most votes regardless of position.
San Diego won its third straight WCC Men's Soccer Championship for the first time since winning three in a row from 1998-2000. Brian Quinn was named the WCC Coach of the Year for the second time, last winning it in 2022. He led the Toreros to a Conference record of 7-1 and 13-2-2 overall. In addition, Donovan Parisian won WCC Goalkeeper of the Year. Parisian boasted a league-leading six shutouts in 2024, including four in Conference games. His overall goals against average of .769 also led all WCC goalkeepers and ranked 10th in the nation.
Two of Oregon State's three honors went to the same individual as Sergi Solans won both WCC Offensive Player of the Year and Freshman of the Year. Solans led all WCC players with 29 points and 14 goals, which also ranked tied for fourth in the nation. He recorded two hat tricks during the 2024 campaign, as well. Solans' teammate Arnau Farnos won WCC Midfielder of the Year. Farnos tied for second in the league with nine goals. His 21 goals in 2024 were also second only to Solans.
San Francisco's Reid Roberts won Defensive Player of the Year. Reid started all 17 games in 2024. In WCC contests, Roberts' efforts helped the Dons allow just eight goals. USF also boasted two shutouts during the conference schedule, as well. Roberts becames the first Don to win this award since Rob Valentino in 2005.
All four major award winners were also named to the All-WCC First Team. USD led the way with four honorees on the first team and the Beavers right behind them with three. USF and Portland each sported two on the all-conference first team. Nick Fernandez of Portland picked up first-team recognition for the third straight season, while USF's Roberts and Gabriel Bracken Serra earned the accolades for the second straight year.
