The '''Cal Poly Mustangs men's soccer''' program represents the [[Cal Poly Mustangs (San Luis Obispo)|Cal Poly Mustangs]] of [[California Polytechnic State University]] in men's [[soccer]] at the [[Division I (NCAA)|NCAA Division I]] level. Like most teams from Cal Poly, they play in the [[Big West Conference]]. Since becoming eligible in the mid-1990s, Cal Poly has appeared in 3 [[NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament]]s, most recently in [[2015 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship|2015]].

The Mustangs, coached by Oige Kennedy, play at [[Alex G. Spanos Stadium|Mustang Memorial Field Presented by Dignity Health French Hospital Medical Center]] (capacity of 11,075) on the campus of the [[California Polytechnic State University]].

==History==

=== 1950 to 1960: The beginning ===
On April 28, 1950, Cal Poly hosted Fresno State for a friendly as part of the Country Fair on a College Campus event, marking the first-ever time soccer had been played on campus during Poly Royal.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1023&context=elrodeo |title=1950 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1950 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=99 |language=en}}</ref> By 1954, the campus' International Relations Club sponsored the team, which defeated UCLA in an exhibition match on campus.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1027&context=elrodeo |title=1954 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1954 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=101 |language=en}}</ref> In 1955, then-coach Hans Mager commented he "hope(d) to obtain some backing from the (athletic department) funds" in order to expand the team's schedule.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1028&context=elrodeo |title=1955 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1955 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=96 |language=en}}</ref> Later in 1955, Cal Poly won the regional Southern California Championship, advancing to face [[San Francisco Dons|San Francisco]] for the state title.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1030&context=elrodeo |title=1956 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1956 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=146 |language=en}}</ref> The team took a hiatus from 1957 through 1959, returning in 1960 (playing only two matches) under the coaching of Anatol Hellman.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1040&context=elrodeo |title=1961 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1961 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=174 |language=en}}</ref>

=== 1967-68: First intercollegiate teams and the SCCSA ===
By the 1966–1967 academic year, the [[California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo|Cal Poly]] Student Affairs Council began discussing an appropriation of a fund to allow the Mustangs to join the NCAA.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1043&context=elrodeo |title=1967 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1967 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=19 |language=en}}</ref> In July 1967, then-athletic director Robert Mott announced the addition of soccer after the council recognized the sport on a varsity level during the spring.<ref>{{Cite news |date=July 14, 1967 |title=Ward to coach soccer at Poly |pages=6 |work=San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune}}</ref>

In the fall of 1967, Cal Poly (coached by Terry Ward) fielded its first intercollegiate team, going 7–2–1 while finishing second in the Southern California Collegiate Soccer Association. Erwin Hildenhagen, Richard Kibushi, Luis Mejia and Dieter Thomas earned all-conference selections.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1044&context=elrodeo |title=1968 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1968 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=158 |language=en}}</ref>

Cal Poly enjoyed its second year in the SCCSA in the fall of 1968, again finishing in second place (behind UCLA), this time with a 7–2–2 record<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1045&context=elrodeo |title=1969 El Rodeo Yearbook |year=1969 |location=San Luis Obispo, CA |page=140 |language=en}}</ref> under coach Mike Cirovic.

The first two seasons also saw the start of the since-fabled [[Blue–Green Rivalry|Blue-Green Rivalry]] (not formally called such at the time) with [[UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer|UC Santa Barbara]], as Cal Poly won the very first matchup, at home, 2–0,<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://www.ucsbgauchos.com/sports/m-soccer/2021-22/files/2021_Men-s_Soccer_Record_Book.pdf |title=UCSB Men's Soccer Record Book |publisher=UC Santa Barbara Athletics |year=2021 |pages=12}}</ref> before losing on the road to the Gauchos later in 1967, 2–1. The two [[Central Coast (California)|Central Coast]] rivals split a pair of matchups again in 1968. Each of the initial two intercollegiate seasons also included Cal Poly's first matchups with coastal power [[UCLA Bruins men's soccer|UCLA]], resulting in a 2–2 draw in 1967 before a 1–1 stalemate in 1968, as both matches became the Bruins' only ties in the span.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://uclabruins.com/documents/2021/8/30//History.pdf?id=33921 |title=2021 UCLA Men's Soccer Information Guide - History |publisher=UCLA Athletics |year=2021 |pages=42}}</ref>

Following the 1968 season, Cal Poly's Ivan Gomez, Mejia and Vincent Gondwe made the all-conference honors list.<ref>{{Cite news |date=December 10, 1968 |title=Who? ... What? ... When? ...

=== 1969 to 1978: Play resumes in the SCISA ===
Scheduling consistently proved to be more sporadic in immediately ensuing seasons, beginning with a 5–5 record in 1969, before the 1970 squad (coached by Bill Wesnousky<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 24, 1970 |title=Booters beat Cal State 3-1 |pages=8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2613&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>) opened practice more than a week into October, leading to an abbreviated 2–4–0 season.<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 23, 1970 |title=New soccer campaign |pages=7 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=2592&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> Cal Poly didn't field a team in 1971,<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 10, 1973 |title=Soccer team comes up short, 3-2 |pages=8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3047&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> before Carmen Sacco assumed coaching duties from 1972 to 1974. The Mustangs' conference had a slight name change by this point, to: Southern California Intercollegiate Soccer Association.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Vulvin |first=Fred |date=October 17, 1973 |title=Spear's scoring boosts soccer to win |pages=8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3053&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>

In seasons to follow, Cal Poly was managed by Manuel Casillas (1975<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 4, 1975 |title=Soccer Squad Stumbles Saturday |pages=8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3362&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> and 1976<ref>{{Cite news |last=Reem |first=Craig |date=October 1, 1976 |title=Soccer team loses edge ... and three-game tourney |pages=8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3472&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>), George Parry (1977,<ref>{{Cite news |date=October 4, 1977 |title=Soccer triumph |pages=7 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3594&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> during a 4-4-1<ref>{{Cite news |date=April 28, 1978 |title=Soccer record uncertain |pages=12 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3675&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> year) and Tom Hinkle (1978<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 9, 1978 |title=Kickers host Dogs |pages=7 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=3728&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>). One of the standouts from this time was Jaime Saucedo, who went on to be chosen with the 84th overall pick by the [[Los Angeles Aztecs|L.A. Aztecs]] in the 1981 [[North American Soccer League (1968–1984)|NASL]] Draft.

=== 1979 to 2005: Wolfgang Gartner era ===
Wolfgang Gartner, following a three-year career playing as a midfielder in the [[American Soccer League (1933–1983)|ASL]],<ref>{{Cite web |title=ASL-Wolfgang Gartner |url=https://www.nasljerseys.com/ASL/Players/G/Gartner.Wolfgang.htm |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=www.nasljerseys.com}}</ref> was appointed as Cal Poly head coach prior to the 1979 season, with the position becoming full-time in 1983.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Dias |first=Tiffany |date=November 1, 2005 |title=All the way from Stuttgart, Germany |language=en |pages=7–8 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=7359&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>

[[Curt Apsey]] tallied 52 goals for the Mustangs from 1980 to 1983, establishing the school's career scoring record.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Schmidt |first=J.K. |date=October 4, 1988 |title=Poly blanks Chapman in league play |pages=5 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4827&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref>

In 1986, Dan Campbell set the school's single-season scoring record<ref>{{Cite news |last=Williams |first=Julie |date=September 28, 1987 |title=Mustangs tie Cardinal with overtime goal |pages=9 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4686&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> with 21 goals.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Klein |first=Gary |date=October 7, 1987 |title=CSUN Is Heavy Favorite to Defend CCAA Soccer Title |work=Los Angeles Times |url=https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1987-10-07-sp-8043-story.html}}</ref> The 21-goal mark for a season broke the previous yearly record of 20<ref>{{Cite news |last=Ruthemeyer |first=Dan |date=November 10, 1986 |title=Poly soccer team edges Dominguez |pages=14 |work=San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune}}</ref> which had been set by Tom Gleason in 1982.<ref>{{Cite news |last=Baker |first=John Samuel |date=November 10, 1986 |title=Campbell breaks record in 2-0 Mustang win |pages=7 |work=Mustang Daily |url=https://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=4570&context=studentnewspaper}}</ref> Campbell would go on to also finish his career with 52 goals, wrapping his career up in the fall of 1988 by tying the [[California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo|Cal Poly]] all-time scoring record.<ref>{{Cite news |date=November 7, 1988 |title=Poly soccer closes season with shutout win |pages=12 |work=San Luis Obispo Telegram-Tribune}}</ref>

The 1993 season was perhaps the club's most successful while in Division II of the NCAA. Dan Fish was awarded the California Collegiate Athletic Association's Offensive Player of the Year award, the program's first,<ref name="goccaa.org">{{Cite web |title=CCAA Men's Soccer Individual Awards |url=https://goccaa.org/sports/2018/7/25/ccaa-msoc-individual-awards.aspx |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=goccaa.org |language=en}}</ref> while Gartner was named the conference's Coach of the Year. It was Gartner's second Coach of the Year award, with the other coming in 1986.<ref name="goccaa.org"/> The 1993 season also featured [[Major League Soccer|MLS]]-bound [[Ryshiem Henderson]], whom Gartner called "the fastest soccer player I have ever seen in my life."<ref>{{Cite web |last=jon |date=2013-10-30 |title=The real Wolfgang Gartner and origins of Cal Poly soccer |url=https://mustangnews.net/the-real-wolfgang-gartner-and-origins-of-cal-poly-soccer/ |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=Mustang News |language=en-US}}</ref>

Gartner, who, according to an [[LA Weekly]] interview,<ref>{{Cite web |last=Pajer |first=Nicole |date=2012-11-08 |title=Wolfgang Gartner: "I'm One of the Few People That Has Any Integrity Left In the DJ Industry" |url=https://www.laweekly.com/wolfgang-gartner-im-one-of-the-few-people-that-has-any-integrity-left-in-the-dj-industry/ |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=LA Weekly |language=en-US}}</ref> inspired local [[San Luis Obispo, California|San Luis Obispo]]-raised DJ [[Wolfgang Gartner]]'s naming, coached the Mustangs through 2005.

=== 2006 to 2014: Paul Holocher era ===

[[Paul Holocher]], former MLS draft pick and brief USMNT-rostered attacking midfielder, was introduced as the Mustangs' new head coach on January 27, 2006.

In 2006, with then-Spanos Stadium still under construction, Cal Poly played its home soccer games at the Sports Complex,<ref>{{cite web |title=Cal Poly |url=http://gopoly.com/sports/msoc/2009-10/files/2006_Cal_Poly_Men-s_Soccer_Media_Guide.pdf |access-date=2016-01-07 |publisher=Gopoly.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Cal Poly |url=http://gopoly.com/sports/msoc/2009-10/files/2007_Cal_Poly_Men-s_Soccer_Media_Guide.pdf |access-date=2016-01-07 |publisher=Gopoly.com}}</ref> north of the baseball and softball fields, now known as the turf fields.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Throwback Team Thursday: Soccer at the Sports Complex |url=https://gopoly.com/news/2020/9/10/mens-soccer-throwback-team-thursday-soccer-at-the-sports-complex.aspx |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=Cal Poly |language=en}}</ref> 2007 brought the completion of the renovation and expansion of Mustang Memorial Field Presented by Dignity Health French Hospital Medical Center and the ability to host larger crowds.<ref>http://static.psbin.com/d/7/tvoc8p7arz2m2s/2007_Cal_Poly_Men-s_Soccer_Media_Guide.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=March 2022}}</ref>

Posting a record in 2008 of 11–6–6, Cal Poly placed third in the [[Big West]] and qualified for the NCAA Division I Tournament. Cal Poly managed to upset No. 11-ranked UCLA, 1–0, to advance to the second round before losing 0–3 to No. 14 UC Irvine.

After eight years as head coach, Holocher announced on August 11, 2014, that he had stepped down to move to Hawai'i and serve as the Director of Development with Maui United Soccer Club.<ref>{{cite web |date=11 August 2014 |title=Men's Soccer Head Coach Paul Holocher Resigns |url=http://gopoly.com/sports/msoc/2014-15/releases/20140811yueh5b}}</ref> In eight seasons, Holocher directed the Mustangs to a 72–60–25 record and an NCAA Tournament appearance, Cal Poly's second since joining Division I in 1994. Phil Ruskin, a second-year assistant coach, was promoted to be the interim head coach upon Holocher's departure, and coached the 2014 season.<ref>{{cite web |title=Cal Poly |url=http://www.calpolymustangs.com/sports/msoc/coaches/Ruskin-Phil |website=Cal Poly}}</ref>

===2015 to 2022: Steve Sampson era===

In December 2014, Cal Poly hired former [[United States Men's National Soccer Team]] Head Coach [[Steve Sampson]]. Sampson led the US in the 1998 World Cup and also served as an assistant coach in the 1994 World Cup. He coached [[Santa Clara Broncos men's soccer|Santa Clara]] to the 1989 national championship and coached the [[LA Galaxy]] to the 2005 MLS Cup and the US Open Cup.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://gopoly.com/sports/msoc/2014-15/releases/20141204rxne9i|title=Steve Sampson Named Cal Poly Men's Soccer Head Coach|date=4 December 2014}}</ref>

The Mustangs returned to the NCAA Tournament in 2015 following the program's first Big West Tournament match victory.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Early Goal Lifts Cal Poly Men's Soccer into Big West Tournament Semifinal |url=https://gopoly.com/news/2015/11/7/11_7_2015_4084.aspx |access-date=2022-06-08 |website=Cal Poly |language=en}}</ref> The season saw Cal Poly peak at No. 20 in the [[List of NCAA Division I men's soccer teams ranked in the 2015 Top 25 coaches poll|national Top 25 Poll]] on October 27.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Big West Tournament Seeding on the Line for Cal Poly Men's Soccer |url=https://gopoly.com/news/2015/10/27/10_27_2015_4077.aspx |access-date=2022-10-22 |website=Cal Poly |language=en}}</ref>

== The Blue-Green rivalry ==
{{Main|Blue–Green Rivalry}}
Chosen as the #1 "Greatest Rivalry In College Soccer" by ''CollegeSoccerNews.com'', the main rival of the Cal Poly Mustangs men's soccer team is the [[UC Santa Barbara Gauchos men's soccer]] team.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page2764.htm |title=The Fourteen Greatest Rivalries In College Soccer |website=www.collegesoccernews.com/ |access-date=April 7, 2016 |archive-date=November 5, 2013 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131105052900/http://www.collegesoccernews.com/index_files/Page2764.htm }}</ref>  The rivalry is a part of the larger [[Blue–Green Rivalry]], which encompasses all sports from the two schools.  With both schools located on the [[Central Coast (California)|Central Coast]] less than 100 miles apart, attendance has risen dramatically following the Gauchos' [[2006 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship]].
