In the Group A finale, Penn State would face Virginia Tech with both teams already qualifying for the quarterfinals after Virginia Tech also won their first two matches by at least three goals. However, since Virginia Tech had yet to concede, Penn State would need to win to claim first place due to the goal they conceded to Illinois in their opener; any other result would leave Virginia Tech in first in the group. The game would go on to be deadlocked at 0–0, meaning Virginia Tech would win the group and face Group D runners-up, North Carolina, while Penn State would take second and face reigning champions, Colorado State.
Meanwhile, going into the final games in Group B, Colorado would face Clemson and Ohio State would face Salisbury State with the current standings having Clemson in first with 18 points, Colorado in second with 11 points, and Ohio State in third with 9 points.

The game would remain tied 1–1 after regulation, meaning overtime would be required. A goal at the end of the first period of overtime from Penn State's Ruth Uselton would give them their first lead of the match. Colorado State were unable to score in the five remaining minutes, sending Penn State to their second consecutive final four. In the semifinals, Colorado would defeat North Carolina 1-0 while Penn State would face another undefeated team, JMU, in a rematch of last years semifinal that Penn State won 2–1. In the match, Penn State's Katie Stober would open the scoring with a goal in the 43rd minute via a header following a shot from Ruth Uselton whose shot hit the crossbar. This would prove to be the lone goal of the match, giving JMU their first loss of the season and sending Penn State to their second straight finals. In the finals, the game would remain deadlocked at 0–0 after regulation, meaning extra time would be required, the first time it would be required for a women's championship final. The overtime would also remain scoreless meaning, for the first time in any of the four divisions, penalties would determine a division's champion. Colorado would go on to win the shootout 4–3 and claim their second title. Colorado's Nicole Skogg would be named the tournament MVP.Steele Darren 1998-11-23 Club soccer falls short of title https://panewsarchive.psu.edu/lccn/sn85054904/1998-11-23/ed-1/seq-18 The Daily Collegian 18Bresee Eric 1998-11-24 Women Lose Quickly https://newspapers.lib.utah.edu/details?id=9850082 Salt Lake Community College Student Newspapers 7

Format
The competition consisted of 54 teams partitioned into 32 men's teams and 22 women's teams. Each of these partitions were further divided into an invite-only championship division and an open division. All divisions except the women's open were divided into four groups of four teams with the women's open division having two groups of three teams each.
All 4 divisions began with a round-robin tournament. All teams except for ones in the women's open division played each of the other teams in their group once with teams in the women's open division playing each team in the other group from theirs once. Following this, the two best teams in each group advanced to a single-elimination, knockout round except in the women's open division where all teams advanced to the knockout round and the winners of each group receiving a bye to the semifinals.
The first metric for determining the best team in each group was points, calculated first by giving a team 6 points for a win, 3 points for a tie, and 0 points for a loss. Then, a team could be awarded an addition point for a shutout and an additional point for every goal scored, up to a max of 3 goals per game. If teams were tied on points, the following criteria were used in order:
Winner of head-to-head competition
Greatest goal difference
Most goals scored
Coin toss
The knockout stage was an 8-team tournament for all divisions except the women's open which had a 6-team tournament. Knockout stage games needed to declare a winner, meaning if one was tied at the end of regulation, overtime would begin. Overtime consisted of two complete 5-minute periods. If still tied after overtime, kicks from the mark would determine the winner.
All games consisted of two 40-minute halves with pool play and quarterfinal games were separated by a seven-minute halftime while the halves in the semifinals and finals were separated by a ten minute halftime. If a player received three yellow cards during the course of the tournament they would be suspended the following the game.Rules of play http://nirsa.org/nirs15c2.htm#rule dead https://web.archive.org/web/19990421144059/http://nirsa.org/nirs15c2.htm#rule 1999-04-21 NIRSA
