Indiana head coach aims for family redemption at College Cup

Related Topics: Todd Yeagley, The Hoosiers

Indiana head coach Todd Yeagley has never coached a game in Philadelphia but 41 years ago there was a different Yeagley on the sideline when Indiana played San Francisco for the College Cup final at Franklin Field.

It was Todd’s dad, Jerry, who led the Hoosiers to the first of 13 College Cup appearances during his long tenure as head coach that season.

The Hoosiers lost that day 1-0 to the Dons and would go on to lose two more times to San Francisco in cup finals before the elder Yeagley, a Myerstown, Pa. native who starred at West Chester University in his playing days, won the first of six national championships as a coach.
