For nearly 20 years, Mustang soccer has enjoyed extraordinary success, highlighted by annual playoff appearances, memorable games, All-American athletes, and national championships. But few people remember the young and lean years of the program in the late '60s and early '70s when a young man named Ron Inscho led a fledgling sport to initial success and etched his name in the record books along the way.

Soccer was barely on the radar in 1969 when Inscho arrived on campus and it wasn't until the following season that the first statistics for the program were recorded. What they revealed in the fall of 1970 was the only undefeated squad (7-0-1) in school history and Inscho leading the attack with 21 goals and 49 points, single-season standards that stood for 10 years. The highlight of the campaign was a seven-goal performance against Pacific Christian, a single-game record that wasn't broken until 1987. 

When he concluded his career a year later, he had established himself as the school's all-time leading scorer with 107 points (42 goals, 23 assists). Although his career and single-season records have been eclipsed over the years, he is still No. 9 on the all-time scoring list and his 3.57 points per game average is still tops in school annals.

After graduating with a degree in music in the spring of 1972, Ron immediately began ministering in the local church, initiating a lifetime of service for the kingdom. Following his marriage to Diane in 1973, the couple moved to Santa Maria, California, where Ron served as the Minister of Music at Grace Baptist Church for the next 30 years. While there, Ron was instrumental in developing Sunday morning worship, high school and college-age tours, Easter musical dramas, patriotic musicals, youth musicals, handbell choirs, orchestras, a summer music internship program, and the spectacular Living Christmas Tree.

Relocating from Santa Maria in late 2003, Ron began a new period of ministry in his life, moving to Upland, California, where he became the Minister of Music at Foothill Bible Church. Ron and Diane have two grown children, both TMC alums, who are married and serving the Lord in churches in Northern California.
