Plymouth State University

STEVE CLARK ('84):  A native of Great Britain, Steve Clark came to the United States in 1980 to further his education. An outstanding soccer player, he had opportunities to play the game at several different American colleges. After meeting the Plymouth State College head coach Gerd Lutter during the summer of 1980, Clark decided that PSC was where he wanted to be.

 Clark’s career scoring total of 96 goals is more than twice the number of PSC’s second leading career scorer. The 28 goals he scored during the 1982 season is a record that will probably never be surpassed.

The four years that Clark played for Plymouth saw the soccer Panthers hold and incredible record of 60-13-5. Three years saw PSC earn NCAA national tournament invitations, while the fourth saw PSC win an ECAC championship.

As a senior, Clark led PSC to a 17-2-3 record, as the Panthers reached the NCAA Division III National Semi-Finals. Clark finished a close second to Duke University’s Tony Jeffries in the balloting for the 1983 Hermann Award.

Steve Clark is the first PSC student-athlete to be honored with selection to the Hall of Fame in his first year of eligibility.
