The most outstanding player was Pam Baughman (George Mason) and the most outstanding defensive player was Betsy Drambour (George Mason). An All-Tournament team was not named this year.

Qualification

At the time, there was only one NCAA championship for women's soccer; a Division III title was added in 1986 and a Division II title in 1988. Hence, all NCAA women's soccer programs (whether from Division I, Division II, or Division III) were eligible for this championship. The tournament field remained set at 14 teams this year even though the third-place match was discontinued.
