Cornell Big Red men's soccer

History

Cornell's soccer team was formed in 1908, and the university started its run on the sport competing in championships organized by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association (ISFA), the predecessor national soccer championship to the NCAA soccer tournament.

The team's first coach was Talbot Hunter (six years later the team was established), who leaded the team between 1914 and 1915.

The Big Red won only a national title in 1934, the team's 27th. season in the competition. Under the coaching of Nick Bawlf, the 1934 season was the most successful one in Cornell men's soccer history, going undefeated with a 5-0-2 record. Results of the season include victories over Hamilton (5–1), Penn (3–0), Swarthmore (2–1), Princeton (2–0), Leigh (2–1), and ties to Dartmouth and Haverford (both 1–1).

It was the only season in Cornell men's soccer history where the program finished the campaign with an undefeated record.
