Hank Meinster, a soccer-coaching legend in Dallas, started the men's soccer program at UD in the early 1970s. Although records from this period are sparse, Coach Meinster had some significant accomplishments. The 1979 team was the first soccer team to achieve a winning record (7-4-2). The 1980 team was the first to make the NAIA District 8 playoffs, and, subsequently, won the first men's soccer postseason game in UD history. This appearance was followed-up by an additional postseason berth by the 1981 team.
