Fred Gerstenfield played varsity soccer at Drexel for four years and was a two-year team captain for the squad. Gerstenfield led the team in assists in 1980 and 1981, distributing 11 helpers in each season, which also led the East Coast Conference and the Philadelphia Soccer Seven.

Gerstenfield is still ranked among Drexel’s all-time leaders in assists and goals and is one of only two Dragons to earn the team’s MVP award twice. He was a three-time All-ECC selection. After leading the Dragons to their first ECC Championship in 1981, Gerstenfield was named the Conference MVP, becoming the first of four consecutive Drexel players to earn the distinction from 1981-1984. In addition, Gerstenfield was also a three-time Soccer Seven All-Star, a two-time All-Mid-Atlantic Region selection and in 1981 he became Drexel’s 16th men’s soccer All-American.
