From its humble beginnings as a club team with hand-me-down football jerseys, the College of William and Mary men’s soccer team has become an exemplary intercollegiate program. Whether judged by its 30 consecutive winning seasons or the success of its graduates—including Comedy Central’s Jon Stewart and MLS stars Wade Barrett, Steve Jolley, and Adin Brown—Tribe soccer has become what college soccer should be. For almost 50 years, William and Mary has not only developed outstanding individuals and teams, but has also exerted an amazing amount of influence on soccer in their community by contributing to the growth of youth, high school, and women’s soccer.

Author Al Albert was a William and Mary soccer player in the late 1960s and then coached the team for 33 years, from 1971 to 2003. He is now the associate director of athletic development at the College.
