Played baseball,football & soccer at Cortland. My freshman year,1960, our men's soccer team had 2 1st team All-Americans. There were no separate divisions. We played in the NCAA Tourney with Maryland, Connecticut, California, Brooklyn College, West Chester, Rutgers[11-0], & the Univ.of St Louis Billikens.
We lost to Connecticut 4-3. St Louis, arguably the greatest sports dynasty ever, won it all. Check out their records & NCAA championships.
In baseball we played DI Fordham, NYU, Cornell, Colgate, Syracuse, & I believe LIU, among others. We were one of the best overall Lax programs, again before NCAA divisions. Sent a truck load of alums to coach big time lax programs, including Princeton/Denver, Georgetown, Air Force, Towson, Bucknell, Yale, John's Hopkins, Hobart, Penn & the first program at ND. We wrestled Syracuse &, I believe, Cornell. Was almost entirely a Phys Ed school at that time.
The current Cortland baseball team is a power. Won the D3 championship last year after appearing in the final 4 for several years straight. Ranked No 1 this year & just won the regionals. The women's lacrosse team is the reigning D3 champions & is ranked No1 this year & is undefeated for the past 2 years. All other programs are also very strong, some very,very strong.
