The match featured Syracuse University, which made its first ever appearance in the College Cup final, and Indiana University Bloomington (known athletically as simply "Indiana"), which made its 16th appearance in the final, and its first since 2020.

The match was tied 2–2 at the end of regulation and after extra time. A penalty shootout was held to determine the College Cup winner, which Syracuse won 7–6. The title gave Syracuse their first NCAA title in men's soccer. [1]

Road to the final

The NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, sometimes known as the College Cup, is an American intercollegiate soccer tournament conducted by the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), and determines the Division I men's national champion. The tournament has been formally held since 1959, when it was an eight-team tournament. Since then, the tournament has expanded to 48 teams, in which every Division I conference tournament champion is allocated a berth. It was Syracuse's first title game appearance in school history, [2] and Indiana's 17th. [3]
