Drexel earns its greatest athletic achievement in 1958 when the men’s soccer team became the first — and only — Drexel varsity athletic squad to win such a title. The team takes the top spot after an undefeated season in which they outscore their opponents by a combined 76-15. The team is named the best in the country by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association, the predecessor to the NCAA for collegiate soccer. The team later becomes the first to be inducted into the Drexel Athletics Hall of Fame, with longtime coach Don Yonker, All-Americans Oswald “Ozzie” Jethon ’60; Stanley “Stosh” Dlugosz ’60 and Bob Muschek ’60 and goal-scorer Igor Lissy ’62 receiving separate admissions.
