The 2017 Missouri Valley Conference men's soccer season was the 27th season of men's varsity soccer in the conference. [1]

Contents

The Loyola Ramblers were the defending regular season champions, [2] while the SIU Edwardsville Cougars (now in the Mid-American Conference) were the 2016 tournament champions. [3]

With the results of the games of Saturday, October 28, Missouri State secured the top seed in the MVC Tournament with Central Arkansas seeded second. MoSt then won the regular season title with a draw at Drake on November 4.

On Sunday, November 12, the Central Arkansas Bears defeated the Missouri State Bears 1–0 in overtime at Shea Stadium in Peoria, Illinois to with their first MVC Championship and advance to their first NCAA tournament since moving to Division I in 2007. [4] [5]

Changes from 2016

The Valparaiso Crusaders joined the MVC on July 1 after spending the past ten years in the Horizon League. At the time, Valpo became the eighth team in MVC men's soccer.

The MVC lost SIU Edwardsville (SIUE) to the Mid-American Conference, returning the MVC to seven men's soccer teams. The Cougars had initially been announced as joining MAC men's soccer in 2018, [6] but less than a week after the initial announcement, the MAC indicated that SIUE men's soccer would instead join in 2017. [7]
