The 1991 Men's Soccer Team becomes the third squad inducted into the SSU Athletics Hall of Fame, following the 1990 Women's Soccer Team and the 1991 Football Team. Fresh off the first winning season in school history (18-4-1 in 1990), the '91 team had a brand new head coach in Marcus Ziemer. He was joined on the team by three of his brothers (Andrew, Benjamin, and Christopher) along with star goalkeeper Dave Kaufman. After coming up winless in their first two games of the year, the team found their stride and reeled off 18 wins in the next 21 games. Propelled into the post-season, it was there that the Cossacks did their finest work. SSU beat Oakland University in four overtimes, then edged Missouri St-Louis and Cal Poly to move into the national championship game. Even a loss to Florida Tech in the title game couldn't put a damper on one of the great seasons in school history. Two players on the '91 team (Andrew and Christopher) have preceded the team into the Hall and there is a good bet that several more will join them in the years to come.
