A native of Invergordon, Scotland, Graham Munro played soccer at Binghamton from 2002-05. He graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English & general rhetoric in 2006.

As an All-American and three-time first team all-region selection, Munro was the most decorated soccer player in the school’s Division I tenure. But equally impactful were his leadership and impassioned spirit, which lifted the Bearcats to one of the finest three-year runs in program history.

As a freshman, Munro led the team in scoring from the back line, tallying four goals and earning the first of his four consecutive all-conference first team honors.

One year later, Munro led the Bearcats to one of the most successful seasons of any sport in school history. Picked to finish eighth in the America East, BU instead captured its first conference title and stunned No. 15 FDU 1-0 in the first round of the NCAA tournament. The Bearcats then pushed No. 7 St. Louis to overtime in the NCAA Round of 32 before their recordbreaking season ended. With Munro anchoring the defense, BU led the entire nation in fewest goals against (nine goals in 22 games) and most shutouts (15). He earned the first of three straight America East Defender of the Year laurels and BU finished No. 26 in the country — its highest Division I ranking.

As a junior, Munro led the Bearcats back to the America East championship game and the team lost just twice in 21 games. He repeated as conference Defender of the Year, all-region selection and NSCAA Scholar All-American.

Munro led the 2005 squad to a 12-win season that ended with the program’s third-straight appearance in the America East title game. He garnered Defender of the Year status for a third consecutive year and then was selected by College Soccer News as an All-American — the program’s first at Division I.

Over his final three seasons, Munro led BU to a lofty win percentage of 70% with just nine losses in 64 games. Munro delivered on the attacking end as well with 17 career goals. He also embraced pressure situations, going a perfect 14-for-14 in career penalty kicks.

He was the school’s “Athlete of the Year” in 2003-04 and received the John Bilos Award in 2006. Munro was selected by the Baltimore Blast in the third round of the 2006 MISL Draft.
