The NCAA men’s soccer tournament will have a first-time champion Monday night as NC State and Washington face off for a long-awaited national title.
NC State (16-2-4), which has fielded a program since 1950, is in the championship game for the first time. The 15th-seeded Wolfpack have had a relatively smooth path to the title game, facing only one seeded team so far: a 3-2 win over No. 7 Georgetown in the quarterfinals.
The Huskies (15-6-2), meanwhile, opened the tournament with a double-overtime thriller against Oregon State that kicked off a charmed run through the bracket. They followed that win by knocking off No. 5 seed SMU, No. 12 Stanford, No. 4 Maryland and No. 16 Furman in succession to return to the final for the first time since falling to Clemson in the 2021 title game.
Can they take the final step Monday, or will the home-crowd-favorite Wolfpack prevail in North Carolina?
Here’s how to watch all the action from the championship game.
