By winning the CAA Tournament, the Rams qualified for NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, for the second straight year and for the sixth time in the program's history. In the NCAA tournament, the Rams advanced to the final sixteen (Regional semifinals), at the time, their deepest run in the tournament.
