1988

O'Neil spearheaded Miami men's soccer to its first MAC title in 1986. He was a three-time captain for the Red and White from 1985-1987 and started every game during his four-year career. The Red and White finished the 1986 season going 8-1-1 over their final 10 matches, and he was second on the team in scoring that season with 19 points. O'Neil was a two-time First-Team All-MAC selection for Miami, earning the honor in 1986 and 1987.

A four-year letterwinner for the Red and White, O'Neil twice earned All-Ohio honors (1984 and 1986). He also was a two-time NSCAA All-Mideast Region selection, capturing the award in 1984 and 1986. Upon his arrival at Miami, O'Neil and his teammates sparked an impressive turnaround that culminated in 10-3-4 record in his freshman campaign, more than tripling the number of wins from the previous season. O'Neil finished his career ranked third in career assists with 16, which ties for seventh all-time at Miami.
