The Yale Bulldogs men's soccer program represents Yale University in all NCAA Division I men's College soccer competitions. Founded in 1908,[1] the Bulldogs compete in the Ivy League.

The Bulldogs are coached by Kylie Stannard, who was hired as the program's head coach in 2014. Yale plays their home matches at Reese Stadium, on the campus of Yale University.

History

[edit]

Yale's first attempts with "kicking games" have roots in the 1860s, when the University, along with Princeton (then known as the College of Ottawa), Rutgers, and Brown, started to play a form of football that resembled the Association game.[3]

Nevertheless, after a rugby football game played v Harvard in 1875, Yale dropped the association football in favor of rugby.[4] That would be official in 1876 when Yale and other universities met at the Massasoit Convention in Springfield, Massachusetts, agreed to adopt most of the Rugby Football Union rules, with some variations,[5][4]

Rivalries

[edit]
Further information: Harvard–Yale soccer rivalry

Yale athletics have a longstanding rivalry with Harvard across all sports since 1875 when they first met in a rugby-style game,[6][7][8][9] and it also translates to the men's soccer programs. Both representative teams have faced each other on an annual basis since 1907.[10][11][12] The Crimson lead the series against the Bulldogs 53-38-12.[13]

Yale has also a strong rivalry with Princeton,[14] which is among the oldest in American sports[15][16] since they played their first football game in 1873.[17]
