The following contains the names of the members of the 2005 South Carolina Gamecocks men's soccer team and the results of each match.

The year turned out to be a successful one for the Gamecocks. The gamecocks would topple three top-15 opponents, finish the regular season with a conference record of 7-1-1 in their first year, and beat Tulsa for the conference tournament crown on national television.[1] Unfortunately for the Gamecocks, their season ended in a heart-breaking 2-0 loss to the Wake Forest Demon Deacons in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.[1]
