Prior to last season’s success, year two with Brock as an assistant led to one of the most successful seasons in the history of the programs. The Tiger men repeated as conference champions, captured its first-ever district title, and won its first-ever game at the national tournament. While, the Lady Tigers won a then school-record 14 games, captured its first-ever conference title and won its first-ever playoff game during the 2019 season.

The 2020 season was another successful one for the Tiger soccer teams as both teams captured conference titles and were ranked nationally.
