The 1942 RPI Engineers men's soccer team represented the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute during the 1942 ISFA season. The team finished with a 5–0–2 record,[1] their first undefeated season since 1922.[2]
Due to World War II, the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association (ISFA) and National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) did not award a formal champion.[3] The 1942 Engineers team was retroactively named the national soccer co-champion by the American Soccer History Archives, along with Princeton, Springfield, and UMass.[4]
