Former Monmouth University men’s soccer star goalkeeper Bryan Meredith has signed with the San Jose Earthquakes, the team recently announced. The goalkeeper from Scotch Plains, NJ, joins the Major League Soccer (MLS) club following recent stints with Seattle Sounders FC, IK Brage (Sweden), and the New York Cosmos.

A captain as a senior, he led the NEC in goals against average (0.70), save percentage (84.2%) and shutouts (11) in 2010. Meredith, who was named the NEC Tournament Most Valuable Player in helping the Hawks advance to the NCAA Tournament for the second straight season, ended his stellar collegiate career with 36 shutouts and a 44-7-10 record.

Meredith helped Monmouth to four-straight Northeast Conference Regular Season Titles and back-to-back league tournament crowns.
