When Jeff Greblick ’17 put in a key goal midway through the second period of ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é’s game against Moravian College in late October, the junior from Lagrangeville, New York, did more than ensure a 3–0 victory.

The win also marked the 600th for the men’s soccer program, putting ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é among only eight NCAA Division III programs to reach that milestone. Since 1934, the program’s record is 601–335–109, a .627 all-time winning percentage.

In September, the team also notched the 200th career win for coach Chris Apple ’92, whose record at ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é is 183–54–43.

He has led ÂÒÂ×Ç¿¼é since 2001, when the All-American and Academic All-American Yellowjacket returned to his alma mater after coaching stints at Notre Dame and North Carolina Wesleyan.
