The men's soccer program at King's became a varsity sport  in 1980 and the Monarchs have developed into a highly competitive program in the Middle Atlantic Conferences.   

The Monarchs began a new era in 2006 with the arrival of head coach Mark Bassett who owns a great deal of experience as a national championship winner during his days as a player at Messiah College.

Bassett was part of one of the most successful Division III programs in the nation and helped Messiah to four straight Division III national tournament berths, including the 2000 national title.

King's has been consistent contenders for post-season play. The soccer team has also performed well in the classroom. In 2006, eight Monarch players were named to the MAC All-Academic Team after posting overall grade-point averages of at least 3.20.

King's competes for an opportunity to qualify for the Freedom Conference Championships as the top four teams from within the conference earn post-season berths.

In 1999, the NCAA restructured its national tournament criteria and began awarding the Freedom Conference winner an automatic berth into the NCAA Division III National Championships, further increasing King’s chances of competing at the national level.

The Monarchs annually play a competitive schedule of at least 18 games with all home games played at Robert L. Betzler Fields, built in 1992.
