The 49ers entered the tournament through an at-large bid, and were not seeded. Despite that, they were able to defeat defending champions, the Akron Zips, 1–0, in the third round, and then the Connecticut Huskies, 4–2, in a penalty shootout to advance to the College Cup. Joining the Tar Heels and the 49ers in the College Cup were the UCLA Bruins and the Creighton Bluejays.Scott David UNC wins NCAA soccer crown, defeating Charlotte 1–0 http://www.newsobserver.com/2011/12/11/1704960/unc-wins-ncaa-soccer-crown-defeating.html The News & Observer Publishing Company NewsObserver.com January 23, 2012 December 11, 2011 With the victory in the national final, the Tar Heels won their second NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship in program history.Aschoff Edward Moment of magic wins it for UNC https://www.espn.com/college-sports/story/_/id/7342878/north-carolina-tar-heels-top-charlotte-49ers-national-championship-ncaa-men-soccer-tournament ESPN ESPN January 22, 2012 December 11, 2011 Qualified Teams 2011 NCAA Division I men's soccer season A total of 48 teams will qualify into the tournament proper, either automatically, or through an at-large bid that is determined by a selection committee.

Of the 64 berths, 22 were allocated to the conference tournament or regular season winners. The remaining 42 berths were determined through an at-large process based upon teams' Ratings Percentage Index that did not win their conference tournament. The most at-large berths went to schools from the Big East and Atlantic Coast conferences, containing half of the tournament field's at-large berths (six and five berths, respectively). Of the remaining 11 berths, six were from the Colonial Athletic and Conference USA conferences, each earning three berths. From there, the NCAA Selection Committee selected the top sixteen seeds for the tournament, that earned an automatic bye to the second round of the tournament. The remaining 48 teams played in a single-elimination match in the first round of the tournament, to play a seeded team in the second round. Similar to the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup, each of the tournament rounds were single-elimination. However, matches tied at the end of regulation went to two 10-minute golden goal periods, followed by a penalty shoot-out, if necessary. All matches in the first, second and third rounds, as well as the quarterfinals, were hosted by the higher seed. The College Cup, also known as the semifinals and final for the tournament were held at a neutral venue, this time being at Regions Park in Hoover, Alabama (south of Birmingham).
