Once the program gained varsity status and the full support of the university in 1973, Yeagley's teams quickly became a national power.
In fact, through his 31-year career, Yeagley took every one of his four-year players to the NCAA College Cup, soccer's version of the Final Four.
The Hoosiers' longest stint away from the national semifinal was three years (1985–87) and they followed that brief drought by winning the 1988 NCAA crown.
During the 1983 and 1984 seasons, Yeagley's Indiana teams set an NCAA record by going unbeaten in 46 consecutive games.
From October 1996 until September 1999, Yeagley and his Hoosiers did not lose at home, compiling 27 consecutive wins, the third-best mark in NCAA history.
Hoosier players earned All-America status 49 times in the program's 31 varsity seasons, including 21 first team honorees.
He led an NCAA record five Hermann Trophy winners and three Missouri Athletic Club Players of the Year.
Yeagley's career came to a fitting and magical end in 2003 as his Hoosiers went unbeaten over their final 18 games en route to winning the NCAA Championship.
The title was the sixth for the program under Yeagley and in the process, he became the all-time winningest coach in collegiate soccer history with 544 wins.
Freitag added the program's seventh national title in his inaugural year in 2004, when they beat UC Santa Barbara after a penalty shootout.
It marked the third occasion in which Indiana had won back-to-back national titles and it was the program's record 17th appearance in the College Cup.
Yeagley earned his 100th career win as a head coach on October 3, 2017, when the #1 ranked Hoosiers defeated the Evansville Purple Aces 4–0.
He earned his 200th win 7 years and 15 days later, when the Hoosiers defeated the Michigan State Spartans 3-1 in Bloomington on October 18, 2024.
