                                                        DID YOU KNOW (32 years ago -1974)
                                                   The 1974 Howard University Men Soccer Team

•   The first team from a historically black university to win an NCAA Division I championship title.

•   The second team in the Washington DC metropolitan area to win an NCAA Division I
                championship title (Catholic University was the first 1958 –Boxing).

•   The first black coach ( Lincoln Phillips) to win an NCAA Division I championship title in the
                 U.S.A.

•   The only team since 1974 to have an undefeated and untied season in winning the NCAA
                 men’s soccer championship title (Four other teams had a similar record between 1960-1968).

The Howard University Men Soccer team won the NCAA soccer championship in 1974. This accomplishment proved their superiority in the sport of soccer to the NCAA, the nation, and the world.

The Booters, who were captained by Ian Bain, won all nineteen of their soccer games during 1974, climaxing their season with a 2-1 quadruple overtime win over St. Louis. This unbeaten and untied season in 1974 has never been  equaled since by any other men’s NCAA soccer championship team. (The unbeaten and untied record  still  stands after 32 years)

The “Super Bad” Booters even though crowned National Champions because of their superb performance and skill were  not rewarded with any players named to the “All American” team by the NCAA. Bain was the only member of the team to receive any recognition ( “Honorable Mention”).
Bain however  was selected “ Outstanding Athlete of the Year” by the Howard University Athletic Alumni Association and the team was honored by many groups around the country for their accomplishments.

In 1974, Coach Lincoln Phillips accomplished the honor of coaching the  first  team from a historically black university to win an NCAA  championship  and was also recognized as  the first black coach to win an NCAA championship in the nation. Coach Phillips received in 1974  the first of  his two degrees from Howard University – the BS in Physical Education.

       Visit the Howard University campus and see the 1974  NCAA Soccer trophy among the many 
                                                          soccer awards
                            {Let’s remember  the 1971 soccer team – (35 year anniversary in 2006)}

Wait they won in 1971. Apparently the NCAA take back the title in 71 cause some of the players (Trinis apparently) didn't write SAT's. They were banned. Not to sure how long. Big up to the TD though for coming back in 74 and having a 19 game unbeaten streak to the final..
