Notre Dame's State Champion Booters made their debut in fine fashion on the Lawrenceville Road campus on September 25, 1962. Coach Bill Clarke's Irish racked up three sh'aight wins over Pennsbury High, Delhaas High and St. Cecelia's of Kearny before being stopped by Pennsbury. Not tasting victory since October 3 when they handed St. Cecelia's of Kearny a 2-1 defeat, they hit the win column with a romping 6-1 victory over the Gaels of Cathedral High. Steinert High's Spartans topped the defending Parochial Class A State Soccer Cham- pions 2-1 in the October 15 battle, but the charges of Coach B-ill Clarke came back with a smashing 3-0 win over the Spartans on November 2. Other contests won by the Irish were a 7-0 victory over Princeton, and a second win over Cathedral, 7-1. Trenton High topped None Dame twice by the same score, 1-0. Hightstown also scored two wins over the booters of N.D. by scores of 4-1 and 1-0. Notre Dame's two year domination of the Parochial A State Soccer Champion was brought to an end on November 15 by St. Cecelia's of Kearny. A record went into the books after the Irish dropped the crown and eight games. Notre Dame ended with a final slate of 7-8-2.
