1991 was another banner year in USF soccer annals, featuring outstanding players and unselfish teamwork. The Dons completed a perfect 5-0-0 slate to win the West Coast Conference title, only the second time that had been achieved since the WCC went to round-robin play.
Highlights of the season were wins over Florida International (4-3 in overtime), Portland (1-0), California (2-0), UCLA (1-0), and Santa Clara (3-0). The wins over the highly touted Bruins and Broncos came in front of sellout crowds at Negoesco Stadium.
After winning 10 of its final 11 games, USF (despite having a better record) was forced to travel to Fresno State for a first round NCAA playoff game where an overtime goal by the Bulldogs ended the season with a bitter 1-0 defeat.
Cato Solberg was named MVP of two regular season tournaments – the Met Life Classic and the San Jose Classic, both won by USF. Defensively, Matt Snyder became a highly effective sweeper to complement dependable backs Andrew Kreichbaumer and Kris Vipavetz. Sophomore Scott Thompson came into his own at goalie, registering 39 saves, seven shutouts and an impressive 0.70 goals against average.
All-West Coast Conference forward Marquis White and senior midfielder Robert Aparicio were honored as co-Most Valuable Players of the men's soccer team last month at the teams award ceremonies. White, who led the team in scoring for the second straight year with 15 goals and seven assists, knocked in four game-winning goals this season. Aparicio, a four-year player under Head Coach Steve Negoesco, chipped in five assist and a goal as the team's spark plug in the mid-field. Junior Todd Iversen was recognized as the outstanding underclassman, being named the recipient of the Stephen Negoesco Award after starting 18 games in the mid-field, while defender Matt Snyder was given the Gus Donoghue Award for high recognition of character. Snyder, a senior walk-on who started 12 games as an emergency replacement, was a key part of the Dons stifling defense. Snyder and Iversen are expected back next year, while White and Aparicio have exhausted their eligibility (TheFoghorn).
