NCAA College Soccer Champions



This past Sunday afternoon at WakeMed Soccer Park located in Cary, North Carolina, the University of Virginia Men's Soccer program were crowned NCAA National Champions. After 110 scoreless minutes of brutal, fast-pace, skillful soccer, the Virginia Cavaliers defeated UCLA in a 4-2 penalty shootout.

Virginia being the 16th seed defied all odds to make the historic championship run which gave the University of Virginia their 7th National Championship for soccer. They overcame some of the top teams within the nation such as beating nationally ranked #2 UCLA in the championship and also beating the top ranked team in the tournament Notre Dame in the round of sixteen. Virginia is now matched as the second lowest seed to win the NCAA Tournament since they implemented the new seeding bracket in 2003.

Vagina's roster consists of 14 freshman, 4 sophomores, 7 juniors, and 9 seniors. They have 2 assistant coaches; Terry Boss and Oliver Gage. Along with the 2 assistants, the associate head coach is Matt Chulis and the head coach is George Gelnovatch.  

Now that NCAA College Soccer has officially came to a close there is only one active top flight soccer league still in league play within America, which is the Major Arena Soccer League.

As we all await for soccer season to start back up for the majority, let us keep you up to date on the latest Major Arena Soccer League news, updates, scores, and more!
