Men's Soccer HistoryThe West Virginia Wesleyan College Men's Soccer program began as a club in 1959 through the hard work of Dr. Maurice Soremekun '63 and many other dedicated soccer players in the student body. It gained official status as a varsity sport in 1962 under the leadership of it's first official coach John Myers. Coach Myers would lead the Bobcats to their first 2 WVIAC tournament championships in 1965 and 1966. In the years to follow, Dr. George Klebez '65, Dr. Tom Martin, Derrick Leeson '87 and Gavin Donaldson would oversee a program that would come to be recognized not only as a state and regional power, but a National force at the NAIA and NCAA DII level.  West Virginia Wesleyan Men's Soccer won 18 more WVIAC Championships and 5 NAIA National Championships through 1994, their last season with the NAIA.
