Championship teams take on their own unique characteristics and only one thing is for certain: being ordinary doesn't equate to reaching the pinnacle of success.
Fifty years ago, the USF men's soccer team, under the direction of fifth-year head coach Steve Negoesco, captured the first of five NCAA titles, providing the spark that launched one of the most prolific dynasties in collegiate soccer history.
During halftime of USF's game against Portland on Friday night, USF's 1966 NCAA championship team and Negoesco will be honored in this the 50th anniversary of their national championship season.
While the Dons magical 1966 season has stood the test of time in USF's long and rich soccer history, the true legacy of the team can be measured more by the character of the individuals that embodied the ideals of the University and mirrored the ethnicity of the diverse city they called home.
