Origins
The Irish soccer team was started as a club sport in 1961 by Joe Echelle and Faculty Advisor Mr. Christopher Fagan. The club was made up students representing five continents and was a manifestation of the increasing popularity of soccer as a college sport. The team posted a respectable inaugural 3–2 record winning games against Indiana Tech, Goshen College and Purdue[6]
