The '''East Tennessee State Buccaneers men's soccer''' team is a varsity intercollegiate athletic team of [[East Tennessee State University]] in [[Johnson City, Tennessee]], United States. The team is a member of the [[Southern Conference]], which is part of the [[National Collegiate Athletic Association]]'s [[Division I (NCAA)|Division I]]. ETSU's first men's soccer team was fielded in 2008. The team plays its home games at [[Summers-Taylor Stadium]] on the ETSU campus. The Buccaneers were coached by [[Bo Oshoniyi]] until he was hired away by [[Dartmouth College]]. In March 2018, ETSU announced the hiring of former [[University of Kentucky]] assistant coach David Casper.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.johnsoncitypress.com/Soccer/2018/03/29/ETSU-hires-Kentucky-assistant-Casper-as-men-s-soccer-coach|title = ETSU hires Kentucky assistant Casper as men's soccer coach}}</ref> Following his dismissal in 2021, David Lilly assumed the post of head coach.<ref>{{cite web |title=ETSU names David Lilly men's soccer head coach |url=https://www.etsubucs.com/msoccer/news/2021-22/18357/etsu-names-david-lilly-mens-soccer-head-coach/ |website=etsubucs.com |access-date=31 March 2022}}</ref> Lilly would go on to win the 2023 SoCon Coach of the Year award. <ref>{{cite web |title=David Lilly accepts head coaching job at UAB |url=https://etsubucs.com/news/2023/12/8/mens-soccer-david-lilly-accepts-head-coaching-job-at-uab.aspx |website=etsubucs.com |access-date=12 June 2024}}</ref> Allen Vital was appointed as the head coach in February of 2024 following the departure of David Lilly to [[UAB Blazers men's soccer]]. <ref>{{cite web |title=ETSU announces the hiring of Allen Vital as men’s soccer head coach |url=https://etsubucs.com/news/2024/2/12/mens-soccer-etsu-announces-the-hiring-of-allen-vital-as-mens-soccer-head-coach.aspx |website=etsubucs.com |access-date=12 June 2024}}</ref>
== History ==
East Tennessee State's varsity soccer program began in 2008, when the Buccaneers began play in the [[Atlantic Sun Conference]]. Since the Bucs had already been an established Division I school in other sports and a full-member of the Atlantic Sun Conference, the new program was immediately eligible for postseason play, namely the [[Atlantic Sun Men's Soccer Tournament]] and the [[NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship]].
During the 2008 campaign, the Buccaneers fared well in non-conference play, achieving a record of 5–3 record; however, the Bucs finished towards the bottom of the A-Sun table, with a 1–7–1 conference record. It was not until 2010 that ETSU achieved a winning record, where the Bucs finished the season 15–6 overall and with a 7–2 conference record. Led by future professional [[Aaron Schoenfeld]], the Bucs won both the Atlantic Sun regular season and the conference tournament, earning their first NCAA berth two years after the beginning of the program. The Bucs lost their first NCAA tournament match, 3–2, to the [[College of Charleston Cougars]]. The Bucs returned to the NCAAs in 2013 and 2016.
