The final match was played on December 9, 1972, in Edwardsville, Illinois, at SIUE's Cougar Field, which also hosted the Division I College Cup in 1970 and 1975.Men's Division II Championship Brackets http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_RB/2012/D2Brackets.pdf NCAA 49http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_champs_records/2012/D2/champs.pdf Men's Soccer Division II History NCAA 2013-01-28 2016-03-04 https://web.archive.org/web/20160304041319/http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_champs_records/2012/D2/champs.pdf dead Qualifying 1972 NCAA College Division soccer season Early rounds First round Second round Quarterfinals Semifinals Championship no 165 30 high yes 1 Bridgeport 1 New Haven 0 Springfield 2(2OT) Hartford 1 Hartwick 2(2OT) Brockport 1 Adelphi 0 Oneonta 6 East Stroudsburg State 2(2OT) Montclair State 1 Muhlenberg 5 Philadelphia Textile 4 South Florida 1(OT) Madison College 0 Baltimore 7 Loyola Maryland 1 Bridgeport 0 Springfield 1 Hartwick 0 Oneonta 3 Cal State Fullerton 6 San Francisco State 1 Chico State 3 Seattle Pacific 2 East Stroudsburg State 2(2OT) Muhlenberg 1 South Florida 0 Baltimore 1 UMSL 2 Akron 6 Eastern Illinois 0 SIU Edwardsville 3 Springfield 1 Oneonta 2 Cal State Fullerton 0 Chico State 1 East Stroudsburg 0 Baltimore 3 Akron 2 SIU Edwardsville 3 Oneonta 6 Chico State 0 Baltimore 1 SIU Edwardsville 4 Oneonta 0 SIU Edwardsville 1 Final December 9, 1972 SIU Edwardsville 1–0 https://www.newspapers.com/image/140223676/?terms=Oneonta Oneonta Chris Carenza 52 Driscoll Cougar Field Edwardsville, Illinois 3,000 (est.) Division change 1972 was the only year that this tournament was known as the "College Division Men's Soccer Championship." In 1973, the NCAA renamed the University Division as Division I and the College Division as Division II. Several of the teams in the new Division II that placed a high emphasis on their soccer programs, including both SIUE and Oneonta, moved to Division I after only one season, taking advantage of a then-current NCAA rule that allowed a Division II school to play one sport in Division I and a Division I school to play one sport in Division II. As a result, seven of the twenty-four teams in the 1972 College Division tournament were among the twenty-four teams in the 1973 Division I tournament.Men's Division I Championship Brackets http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_RB/2016/D1Brackets.pdf NCAA 13Men's Division II Championship Brackets http://fs.ncaa.org/Docs/stats/m_soccer_RB/2016/D2Brackets.pdf NCAA 49 & 50 NCAA Men's Soccer Teams that were in 1972 College Division Tournament & 1973 Division I Tournament School School's current name Current Division University of Bridgeport Same II Hartwick College Same III Madison College James Madison University I Oneonta State University College of Education State University of New York at Oneonta III Philadelphia College of Textiles & Science Thomas Jefferson University II Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville Southern Illinois University Edwardsville I University of South Florida Same I Although four of the seven teams have since stepped down to a lower division, five other schools in the 1972 tournament have since moved up to Division I.
