Men's Soccer

The men's soccer program was started in 1980 and was coached by Mike Walters. The first 30 years of the program saw very little success on the field where the best record was posted in 1983 (7-7-0). In 1999, the program cease to exist and didn't start back up until 2004 by a handful of students. In 2008, OCU was under the helm of Josh Murton who led the team to its best record in school history (10-5-1). In 2009 more success came as OCU went 17-6-1 and finished 3rd in the NCCAA Division 2. Then in 2010 OCU again out did itself as they lost in the National Championship to Clearwater Christian College, 0-2. They finished the season 14-9-0 playing their toughest schedule in school history, yet they finish #2 in the Nation.
