Historically, UNCG has been one of the most successful college soccer teams in North Carolina.

In the mid-2000s, the Spartans reached three Sweet Sixteens in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the program had several NCAA violations that caused the program to forfeit several losses; In addition to the losses, the program also suffered the loss of their head coach at the time,[3] a fine of $5,000 payable to the NCAA, and significant recruitment and recruitment communications suspensions.
