The 1988 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship was the 29th organized men's college soccer tournament by the National Collegiate Athletic Association, to determine the top college soccer team in the United States.
College soccer is played by teams composed of soccer players who are enrolled in colleges and universities. While it is most widespread in the United States, it is also prominent in South Korea and Canada. The institutions typically hire full-time professional coaches and staff, although the student athletes are strictly amateur and are not paid. College soccer in the United States is sponsored by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), the sports regulatory body for major universities, and by the governing bodies for smaller universities and colleges. This sport is played on a rectangular field of the dimensions of about 64m (meters) - 70m sideline to sideline (width), and 100m - 110m goal line to goal line (length).
The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a non-profit organization which regulates athletes of 1,268 North American institutions and conferences. It also organizes the athletic programs of many colleges and universities in the United States and Canada, and helps more than 480,000 college student-athletes who compete annually in college sports. The organization is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The Indiana Hoosiers won their third national title by defeating the Howard Bison in the championship game, 1–0. The final match was played on December 4, 1988, in Bloomington, Indiana, at Bill Armstrong Stadium. All the other games were played at the home field of the higher seeded team. [1] [2]
