Igor Lissy was one of the top soccer players in the history of Drexel University. Lissy was a member of Drexel’s 1958 national championship team that was a perfect 12-0.

Lissy still holds the school record for most goals in a season. He found the net 22 times during the championship season. Lissy’s teams also won two Middle Atlantic Conference championships. Upon his graduation in 1962, Lissy was second on the school’s all-time list in both career scoring with 61 points and in single-season scoring with 29 points.

Don Yonker, who coached at Drexel for 30 years, called Lissy the most talented and best all-around player to ever play for him. He was named an All-America in 1960.
