Aidan McCluskey was a key component to the success of the Fairleigh Dickinson men's soccer program and helped bring it back into the national spotlight in the early 1980s. He was a part of a team that made three straight NCAA Tournament appearances from 1982-84, and advanced to the Final Eight in 1983 and 1984. The 1984 team notched a school-record 21 wins against only three losses and was ranked third nationally, the program's highest national ranking ever.

In 1983, McCluskey earned All-American honors. That year he recorded 57 points on 22 goals and 13 points. He went on to earn All-American accolades again in 1984 and finished his career ranked fourth all-time with 129 points.
