Cornell Big Red men's soccer

The Cornell Big Red men's soccer program represents the Cornell University in all NCAA Division I men's college soccer competitions. Founded in 1908, the Big Red compete in the Ivy League. The Big Red are coached by John Smith, a former professional player and assistant coach for the Stanford Cardinal men's soccer program. Cornell plays their home matches at Charles F. Berman Field.

Cornell's soccer team was formed in 1908,^[2] and the university started its run on the sport competing in championships organized by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association (ISFA),^[3] the predecessor national soccer championship to the NCAA soccer tournament.^[4][5][6]

The team's first coach was Talbot Hunter (six years later the team was established), who leaded the team between 1914 and 1915.^[2]

The Big Red won only a national title in 1934,^[7] the team's 27th. season in the competition. Under the coaching of Nick Bawlf,^[8] 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).^[9]

It was the only season in Cornell men's soccer history where the program finished the campaign with an undefeated record.^[10]
