Greg LaPorte

Greg LaPorte was named the next head coach of San Diego women's soccer late in 2023. LaPorte joins the Toreros from nearby UC San Diego, where he had worked as an assistant coach since 2018. He returns to Alcala Park to serve as the fifth head coach in program history after spending five seasons (2011-2015) as an assistant under Ada Greenwood.

A San Diego native, LaPorte helped guide UC San Diego through its transition to NCAA Division I. After winning the 2018 CCAA regular season, CCAA Tournament and NCAA West Regional title, LaPorte and the Tritons repeated as conference champions in their final season in Division II.

Once UC San Diego officially transitioned to Division I and joined the Big West Conference, LaPorte assisted the Tritons as they improved their conference record in each season from 2021 to 2023.

During his first stint as a Torero, LaPorte helped lead San Diego to two NCAA Tournament appearances, including the program's most recent appearance in 2014 and the Toreros' deepest run in 2011, which saw the team reach the Sweet 16. His coaching career began in 2007 at his alma mater, nearby Poway High School. He made his first foray into collegiate coaching at UC San Diego, instructing the Tritons' goalkeepers from 2007 to 2010.

LaPorte competed professionally from 1999 to 2002, beginning with training with Manchester City and Doncaster Rovers. From there, LaPorte competed for Amparo Atletico in Brazil, as well as stints in the Oberliga and Regionaliga in Germany and in Italy.
