The program's most successful season came in 2019, when they won their first NCAA Tournament game in program history, reaching the second round, where they lost to eventual national runners-up, Virginia. Campbell has produced several players that have gone out to play professional soccer including Thibaut Jacquel, Jake Morris, David Doyle, and Josue Soto.
