The Fords have the distinction of winning the first three Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association national championships, the unofficial national championship that served as the predecessor to the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament from 1905 until 1958. The 1904–05 team is considered by some to be the first organized collegiate national championship to be won by a program.[2][3] The team would continue their early 20th century success before winning the ISFA titles in 1906, 1907, 1911 and 1918.[4][5] In 1924, the program won the Pennsylvania Intercollegiate Association Football League season.
