On the first Sunday evening of the season, the 8th ranked Syracuse Orange journeyed to Edwardsville for the first-ever match between the two sides. It was a more offensive-oriented game than the opener versus Michigan State, with the Orange taking nine shops to the Cougars' seven. SIUE was controlling the action and the ball in the 16th minute, when a weak pass was intercepted by a Syracuse forward, who immediately lofted a shot over Dal Santo and high into the net. Just over eight minutes into the second half, Golzalez fired a crossing pass; McLean settled the ball and fired it into the net to even the score. From that point, the Cougars seemed in control as the Orange was repeatedly carded for hard fouls. In the 90th minute, Jambga was decked just outside the box as he was driving on goal. The Syracuse player received a red card, and SIUE looked to be in control of their destiny with less than a minute to play in regulation time and the Orange playing short-handed. The free kick was high, but the Cougars got the ball back only to have a defender get to it and launch a clearing shot downfield. The ball took an odd bounce in the far end, going straight to the feet of a Syracuse player facing an open goal. Dal Santo dove and nearly got to the shot, but the score with only 29 seconds remaining gave the Orange the win.

SIUE entered intercollegiate athletic competition during the 1967–68 school year. At that time, college athletics was almost exclusively the realm of the male student athlete, but times were on the verge of change. On October 4, 1972, SIUE's first women's team took the field, as women's athletic director and coach Rosemarie Archangel's field hockey team played and won its first game. Field hockey has since been discontinued, and other sports have come and gone. Until 2007, when the university began the transition to Division I, SIUE had competed in Division II, except in men's soccer, which competed in Division I from 1973 through 1995. From 1994 to 2008, the Cougars were members of the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC) after having previously been an independent. As part of the move to Division I, the Cougars joined the Ohio Valley Conference (OVC) in 2008. The 2011–12 season was the Cougars' first campaigns for the OVC regular season titles, although they were not eligible for post-season play until 2012–13 except in softball and men's soccer, which were "fast-tracked" by the NCAA.
