The Drexel Dragons men's soccer team represents Drexel University.^[2] The team is a member of the Coastal Athletic Association of the National Collegiate Athletic Association.

In 1955, the team finished with a record of 11-3-1 and won the Middle Atlantic Conferences (MAC) championship for the first time.^[3] After finishing the regular season tied for first place in the conference's Southeastern division, they won a one-game playoff against Bucknell, and then went on to defeat Rutgers in the conference championship game.

In 1958 with a 12-0-0 record, the team was awarded the National Championship by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association of America, then the governing body of men's college soccer.^[4] This occurred the year before the NCAA instituted a playoff system and so Drexel's championship is not officially recognized today by the NCAA.
