Class:
1980

One of the top goalkeepers in not only Temple history, but in college soccer history, Jeff Kraft (1977-80) ranked fifth nationally in saves with an amazing 534 stops. The four-year starter earned honorable mention All-America honors as a junior, and followed that with Second Team All-America honors as a senior. Besides his career saves mark, which is nearly 200 ahead of the next best Temple keeper, the Willingboro, NJ native (J.F. Kennedy HS) also owned the school records for shutouts in season (9, done three times), shutouts in a career (30) and career goals against average (0.85 gaa.) at the time. Drafted by the MISL's Philadelphia Fever, he led Temple to a 47-14-6 mark during his career, including a school-record 14 wins in 1978 and a 1-0 victory at Penn State in the first round of the NCAA Tournament.
