Western Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic League

 
The Springdale Dynamos boys soccer team was dynamite under Meloni in the 1960s and 70s. Meloni 's Dynamos were undefeated through 72 consecutive games from 1968-72. To this day, that streak is still the best in Pennsylvania history and the second-best in the country. As a coach, it was unusual when Meloni didn’t win a title at Springdale. He won nine championships in 15 years with the Dynamos before retiring and he helped bring recognition to a fledgling WPIAL sport. He was a longtime soccer official after his coaching days. Meloni attended North Carolina State on a football scholarship. After playing football for three years, he switched to soccer and was team MVP and captain.
