Remi Prieur returned to Saint Mary's in 2023 as an assistant coach following an illustrious career as a Gael. Few goalkeepers were better in the NCAA than Prieur during his Saint Mary's tenure, especially in his final two seasons.
The California high school graduate started all 38 games over his final two seasons in Moraga and went an incredible 34-2-2 during that stretch, which included a pair of West Coast Conference Championships and NCAA Tournament appearances. In 2018, he did not suffer a defeat, as the Gaels went 18-0-2 and were knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the second round against Stanford after a scoreless game went into a penalty shootout.
Â
Despite the ending to an historic Gaels season in 2018, Prieur was a brick wall in goal all season long. He led the NCAA in save percentage (87.3%), was second in goals against average (0.387), and was tied for the most shutouts in the country (14). All he did was follow that up with another stellar campaign in 2019, where he led the WCC in goals against average, save percentage, and shutouts.
Â
His final numbers as a Gael were eye-popping, and he finished his Saint Mary's career as the best goalkeeper the program has ever seen. No Gael has recorded more wins, shutouts, or a lower goals against average than Prieur, and the accolades came rolling in. Twice, Prieur was named the WCC Goalkeeper of the Year, and he also became the first Gael to be named an All-American (in both 2018 and 2019).
Â
Following his time as a Gael, Prieur was drafted 47th overall in the 2020 Major League Soccer SuperDraft by Columbus Crew SC, but he did not sign. He latched on with Sporting Kansas City II of the United Soccer League and spent parts of two seasons with the club.
Prieur returned to Saint Mary's as the team's goalkeepers coach to start the 2023 season. The Gaels won eight matches that year and Prieur helped keeper Jack Landreth to five shutouts over his 14 starts to lead the team. In 2024, Prieur welcomed true freshman Sam Bentley who won the starting job in his first season with the program, making 13 starts and leading the team with 44 saves and a pair of shutouts. A season later in 2025, Bentley would earn All-WCC Honorable Mention status after recording a career high 54 saves in 15 starts for the Gaels.Â
