The 1971 men's soccer team won the Penn State Commonwealth Campus Championship by dominating their opponents.  Head coach Herb Lauffer's team won all four Commonwealth Campus matches, which included three by shutout.  The booters outscored their Penn State Commonwealth competition by a 21-goal margin.

Overall, the team had a 7-4 record and scored well over three goals per game, while limiting opponents to just two per game.  The Cubs earned one of their biggest wins of the season when they beat national power Lorain Community College, for their fourth win of the season.  Trailing by one goal heading into the third period Lauffer's crew knocked home a pair of goals to take the lead.  Five members of the championship team have been inducted into the Penn State Behrend Hall of Fame.
