The 1997 Wheaton men’s soccer team not only won the NCAA Division III Championship, but the squad did so in commanding fashion with a 24-0-1 record. The Crusaders defeated Mary Washington College 2-1 in the Division III Semifinal in late November of 1997. The Crusaders secured the program’s second National Championship with a 3-0 win in shutout fashion against The College of New Jersey, as All-American Eric Brown scored all three goals in the National Championship match.
Head coach Joe Bean’s team out-scored opponents 109-14 in its 25 matches that season. Wheaton’s 25 contests without a loss in that season was a key part of the program setting a NCAA record for consecutive matches without a loss over 66 consecutive matches from 1996-98.
