Penn-Jersey Spirit played in the American Professional Soccer League in 1990 and 1991. The team's home stadium was Lions Stadium in Ewing, New Jersey, on the campus of Trenton State College (today known as the College of New Jersey). The team also played a small number of home games at La Salle University. Noted soccer writer Paul Oliu was a backup goalkeeper with the team in year two. Although reasonably well-supported, the team ceased operations after its second season.
