As ACC Champions, North Carolina qualified for the 2011 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, and would eventually win the national championship, [3] making it the second time in the last two years an ACC school won the national tournament. Additionally five ACC schools qualified for the tournament through at-large bids, the most of any conference.

The defending champions, Maryland, were eliminated by Clemson in the quarterfinals of the tournament. [4]
