Highlights: Two-time All-American, two-time team captain, ranks 10th in school history in goals and 11th in total points.
Jack Jarvie was a two-time All-American and a two-time team captain for the Slippery Rock men's soccer team over his four-year career from 1955-58. He led Slippery Rock to an 18-13-4 record under head coaches John Eiler and Jim Egli. Jarvie recorded 72 points on 30 goals and 12 assists over 32 games prior to graduating from Slippery Rock in 1959. The Pittsburgh native still ranks 10th in school history in goals scored and 11th in total points, despite playing significantly fewer games than many other players on the list.
Jarvie earned All-America honors as both a junior and senior. During his junior year, he recorded 20 points on nine goals and two assists in just seven games played. He followed his stellar junior campaign up with another All-America effort as a senior when he totaled 36 points on 14 goals and eight assists in 10 games played. Slippery Rock went 13-7 in Jarvie's final two collegiate seasons.
A life-long educator, Jarvie taught health and physical education for the North Allegheny, Aliquippa and Fox Chapel school districts as well as working as the executive secretary for the Pennsylvania Association for Curriculum from 1984-89 and serving as the organization's president in 1991. He was also an intercollegiate soccer referee for 11 years (1960-71) and the chairman of the Erie County Athletic Commission for a decade (1983-93). He is retired and currently resides in Erie, Pennsylvania with his wife Mary Jo.
