The '''SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer''' team represents [[Southern Illinois University Edwardsville]] (SIUE) in the [[Ohio Valley Conference]] (OVC) of [[NCAA Division I]] [[College soccer in the United States|soccer]].

==History==

===Beginning: Bob Guelker era===
The SIUE soccer program first entered competition in 1967 under the leadership of [[National Soccer Hall of Fame]] coach [[Bob Guelker]].  Guelker had been hired away from [[St. Louis University]], where he had also started the program, winning five NCAA championships in eight seasons, including the first NCAA soccer title in 1959.<ref>[http://grfx.cstv.com/photos/schools/stlo/sports/m-soccer/auto_pdf/mg07history.pdf St. Louis University Soccer]</ref> The Cougars were invited to the NCAA tournament in Guelker's third year at the helm and reached the Elite 8 the next two seasons.

When the NCAA started a second division for soccer in 1972, SIUE moved into the new division, since its other athletic programs were also in [[NCAA Division II|Division II]], and a number of other college soccer powers also made the move. That team went 11–0–3 for the season, winning the [[1972 NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship|first Division II championship]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/history/soccer-men/d2|title=DII Men's Soccer|work=NCAA.com}}</ref> (Of the 24 schools in that inaugural Division II tournament, SIUE and 7 others currently play in Division I (3 others moved into Division I in 1973 but have since moved down), 5 others would later win Division II championships, and Akron, Hartwick, and SIUE would later win Division I crowns.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_champs_records/2012/D2/champs.pdf |title=Archived copy |access-date=August 8, 2013 |archive-date=March 4, 2016 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304041319/http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_champs_records/2012/D2/champs.pdf |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.ncaa.com/sports/soccer-men/d1|title=DI Men's College Soccer - Home - NCAA.com|work=NCAA.com}}</ref>)

After winning the Division II title, SIUE took advantage of the NCAA rule then in effect that allowed Division II schools to play one sport in Division I and one sport in Division III, and moved to Division I. In the next ten seasons, Guelker's Cougars were invited to the Division I tournament every year, advancing to four [[NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship|College Cup]] semifinals appearances and winning the Division I title in 1979.<ref name="coach">{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/archive/coachingrecords.html|title=SIUE Men's Soccer – Coaching Records|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref><ref name="rec">{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/archive/allresults.html|title=SIUE|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref>

Toward the end of Guelker's tenure, scandal in some of the university's other sports programs brought about a major reduction of funding for all sports, and the program went into a period of decline.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20120412045728/http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1066268/index.htm Ken Flach and Robert Seguso have overcome scandal and – 08.10.87 – SI Vault<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref>

Guelker headed the program until his death in February 1986.  In his nineteen seasons, only the first (3–3–0) was a non-winning one, and he compiled a record of 216–67–21, with fourteen appearances in the NCAA tournament (thirteen in Division I).

===The Ed Huneke era===
Coach Guelker was succeeded by former Cougar player Ed Huneke. During Huneke's years, the program moved from a Division I independent to membership in the short-lived [[Big Central Soccer Conference]], back to being an independent, a short associate membership in the [[The Summit League|Mid-Continent Conference]], and then reluctantly stepped down to join the Division II [[Great Lakes Valley Conference]] (GLVC) in 1996.

During the university's twelve years in the GLVC, Huneke's Cougars won six regular season titles, four conference tournaments, and received seven invitations to the NCAA Division II tournament, where they reached the [[NCAA Division II Men's Soccer Championship|Division II College Cup]] semifinals three times and were national runner-up in 2004.<ref name="rec"/>

Huneke coached the Cougars for twenty-two seasons, building a record of 251–155–34.<ref name="coach"/>

===The Kevin Kalish era===
From Huneke's retirement in 2008 through the 2013 season, the program was led by [[Kevin Kalish]], who took it both back into Division I and into competition in the [[Missouri Valley Conference]] (MVC).  During the Cougars' first season (2010) in the MVC, they finished second in both the conference regular season (to [[Creighton Bluejays men's soccer|Creighton]]) and the conference tournament (to [[Bradley Braves men's soccer|Bradley]]).

In 2012, the Cougars were ranked during the season for the first time since the 1980s,<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2012-13/releases/20120911fqp33a|title=Cougars Ranked No. 22 Nationally|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.nscaa.com/rankings/1170/NCAADivisionI/men/National?preview=5ebeb6065f64f2346dbb00ab789cf001|title=Not a member?

On December 6, 2012, it was announced that Kevin Kalish was leaving for a job that would allow him to spend more time with his family.<ref name = "KK/SD">{{Cite web |url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2013-14/releases/20131206mwsxvw |title=Kalish Resigns as SIUE Men's Soccer Head Coach - SIUE |access-date=December 7, 2013 |archive-date=December 12, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131212080251/http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2013-14/releases/20131206mwsxvw |url-status=dead }}</ref>

===The Interim===

On December 6, 2013, Associate Head Coach [[Scott Donnelly (soccer coach)|Scott Donnelly]] was named to succeed Kevin Kalish and become SIUE's fourth head coach.<ref name = "KK/SD"/> For the second year in a row, Donnelly's incoming players were rated one of the top recruiting classes in the country.<ref>http://www.topdrawersoccer.com/college-soccer-articles/final-2013-mens-recruiting-class-rankings_aid28901 Final 2013 men’s recruiting class rankings | College Soccer</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/recuiting/top-40-recruiting-classes/121-2014/603-2014-top-recruiting-classes|title=2014 Top 40 Recruiting Classes - CollegeSoccerNews.com|work=collegesoccernews.com|access-date=August 12, 2014|archive-date=August 10, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140810232248/http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index.php/recuiting/top-40-recruiting-classes/121-2014/603-2014-top-recruiting-classes|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On August 10, 2014, it was announced that Donnelly had suddenly and unexpectedly resigned after being recruited to be the new Technical Advisor for the Northeast region of the [[United States Soccer Federation]] (U.S. Soccer). Seventh year goalkeepers coach Brian Jones and first year assistant coach David Korn were named co-head coaches.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2014-15/releases/20140810w63dxb|title=Donnelly Moves to U.S. Soccer|work=siuecougars.com|access-date=August 12, 2014|archive-date=August 12, 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140812214026/http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2014-15/releases/20140810w63dxb|url-status=dead}}</ref>

The Cougars started the [[2014 SIU Edwardsville Cougars men's soccer team|2014 season]] in frustrating fashion, with five overtime games in the first six and a record of 0–6–2 after eight games. Then they entered Missouri Valley Conference play and ran off four straight victories. An embarrassing loss at NIU was followed by a tie at nationally ranked Louisville and another tie at home to eventual MVC champion Missouri State. Completing the regular season at 5–8–2, the Cougars entered the MVC Tournament as the #2 [[Seed (sports)|seed]] and an opening round bye at Bradley. The Cougars rallied from trailing early to defeat Bradley 2–1 in the semifinals. Then, in their school record ninth overtime game of the season, the Cougars downed Missouri State 1–0 to win SIUE's first MVC Tournament Championship and earn a spot in the [[NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship]] for the first time since 1982<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2014-15/releases/20141116hq5ash|title=Cougars Capture Missouri Valley Title; Head to NCAA Tournament|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref> and then advanced to the second round.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/slu/college-soccer-siue-takes-storybook-quest-to-no-cal-slu/article_571d54d4-c1a9-5773-be36-0d0a15a4787c.html|title=College soccer: SIUE takes storybook quest to No. 18 Cal; SLU faces Louisville|author=Lee Enterprises|work=stltoday.com}}</ref>

Athletic Director Dr. Brad Hewitt announced on December 5 that SIUE would conduct a nationwide search for a new head coach stating, "We will secure the best possible leadership to maintain and enhance the strong academic, athletic and community engagement standards that define SIUE Soccer and SIUE Athletics.". David Korn remained as associate head coach and Scott Gyllenberg was retained as assistant coach. Brian Jones, however, departed to become the goalkeepers coach of the professional [[Saint Louis FC|Saint Louis Football Club]] of the [[United Soccer Leagues]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2014-15/releases/20141205jn0lo4|title=SIUE Men's Soccer To Conduct National Search For Head Coach|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref>

===The Mario Sanchez era===
On January 27, 2015, Mario Sanchez, the associate head coach of the [[Louisville Cardinals]] was introduced as the new Cougars head coach.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://siuecougars.com/sports/m-soccer/2014-15/releases/20150126sku3cb|title=Mario Sanchez Selected as Men's Soccer Head Coach|work=siuecougars.com}}</ref>

In Sanchez' first season, the Cougars went 12–4–1 overall and 5–1–0 in the MVC, earning the first conference title since joining the league in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://thetelegraph.com/sports/73589/college-soccer-siue-men-beat-loyola-in-ot-to-win-mvc-crown |title=SIUE Men's Beat Loyola in OT to Win MVC Crown |date=November 8, 2015 |access-date=June 4, 2016}}</ref> With a [[Rating Percentage Index]] (RPI) of 39 (out of 206 teams), the Cougars were 28th of the teams that did not receive an automatic bid to the [[2015 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship]]; since there were only 24 at-large berths available, SIUE was passed over.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/soccer-men/d1 |title=Rankings – NCAA Men's Soccer RPI |publisher=National Collegiate Athletic Association |date=November 15, 2015 |access-date=January 6, 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.ncaa.com/interactive-bracket/soccer-men/d1 |title=2015 NCAA Division I Men's SOCCER CHAMPIONSHIP |publisher=National Collegiate Athletic Association |date=November 16, 2015 |access-date=January 6, 2017}}</ref>

In Sanchez' second season, the Cougars won the [[2016 Missouri Valley Conference Men's Soccer Tournament]], the team's second title in three years, and earned the MVC's automatic bid to the [[2016 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thetelegraph.com/sports/92240/college-mens-soccer-cougars-outlast-msu-win-mvc-tourney |title=COLLEGE MEN'S SOCCER: Cougars outlast MSU, win MVC Tourney |publisher=The Telegraph |date=November 13, 2016 |access-date=November 13, 2016}}</ref> The Cougars tied #13 Michigan State 1–1 and advanced  to the second round on penalty kicks 9–8.

5–4. They finally lost at #2 Wake Forest 2–1 in the program's first Division I Sweet 16 game since 1982.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stltoday.com/sports/college/siue-loses-to-wake-forest/article_019bd2a7-4752-505c-8643-875d88a0c776.html |title=SIUE loses to Wake Forest |publisher=St. Louis Post-Dispatch/STLtoday.com |date=November 27, 2016 |access-date=January 6, 2017 }}</ref>

On May 9, 2017, SIUE and [[Saint Louis Billikens men's soccer|Saint Louis U.]] (SLU) verbally agreed to resume their soccer rivalry in the 2018 and 2019 seasons. The annual Bronze Boot game was once the premier rivalry game in U.S. college soccer. The 1972, 1973, and 1980 games rank as the 14th, 7th, and 1st largest crowds in NCAA soccer history. “I remember hearing about the Bronze Boot;” declared SIUE coach Mario Sanchez. “It was one of college soccer’s biggest games every year. I’m ready for it to happen again." While the annual match was once played at Busch Memorial Stadium, the 2018 game will be at SLU's [[Hermann Stadium]], with the 2019 meeting moving to SIUE's Ralph Korte Stadium. SLU leads the series 9–26–1.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thetelegraph.com/sports/101782/the-boot-is-back-siue-slu-agree-on-home-and-home-mens-soccer-series |title=THE 'BOOT' IS BACK: SIUE, SLU agree on home-and-home men's soccer series |date=May 10, 2017 |access-date=May 22, 2017}}</ref>

The news was released on November 30, 2018, that Mario Sanchez resigned to join the [[Louisville City FC]] as director of youth development and community relations for the [[United Soccer League]] team.<ref name= "MS2Louis"/>

===The Cale Wassermann era===
On January 18, 2019, following a national search, [[Michigan State Spartans men's soccer|Michigan State]] assistant coach [[Cale Wassermann]] was named as the Cougars' new head coach.<ref name="Wassermann"/>

On June 12, 2020, a month after the MAC announced the cancellation of its men's soccer tournament, MVC Commissioner Doug Elgin and SIUE Director of Athletics Tim Hall announced that SIUE men's soccer would return to the [[Missouri Valley Conference]] beginning with the 2021 season.<ref name=MVCreturn/>

After SIUE had played two seasons in the MVC, the OVC announced on March 28, 2023 that it would add men's soccer for the 2023 season and beyond. The new league includes SIUE, three other full OVC members, and four single-sport affiliates.<ref name=OVC/>

On October 22, 2023, the Cougars clinched the regular season championship of the OVC. It was SIUE's first regular season soccer title since 2015 and the first OVC regular season title in any men's sport.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theintelligencer.com/sports/article/siue-tops-eiu-completes-undefeated-regular-season-18456062.php |title=SIUE tops EIU, complete s undefeated regular season |publisher=The Edwardsville Intelligencer/Hearst Newspapers |date= October 29, 2023 |accessdate=October 30, 2023 }}</ref> On November 11, the Cougars added the Inaugural OVC Men's Soccer Tournament title.
