Since 1981, the winner of the annual match between NIU and UW-Milwaukee claims the John LeWang Memorial Cup. The trophy is named in honor of former NIU coach John LeWang, who was killed in a car accident prior to the 1981 season. LeWang came to NIU as head coach in 1980 following his time as an assistant at UW-Milwaukee and died in a car accident after his first season leading the Huskies.[5]
NIU men's soccer has had a combined 13 players named to CoSIDA and NSCAAAcademic All-America teams, including four First-Team Academic All-Americans.[4]
