(Photo: Athletics and Recreation)When Jeff Greblick ’17 put in a key goal midway through the second period of Rochester’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 Rochester 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 Rochester is 183–54–43.
He has led Rochester 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.
