Historically, UNCG has been one of the most successful college soccer teams in North Carolina. In the 1980s, UNCG, while still playing in NCAA Division III, won five NCAA Division III Men's Soccer Championships. In the mid-2000s, the Spartans reached three Sweet Sixteens in the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament. In the late 2000s and early 2010s, the program had several NCAA violations that caused the program to forfeit several losses; In addition to the losses, the program also suffered the loss of their head coach at the time, [3] a fine of $5,000 payable to the NCAA, and significant recruitment and recruitment communications suspensions.
