KANSAS CITY, Mo. (Via United Soccer Coaches) – United Soccer Coaches released the final regional and national rankings on Tuesday for NCAA Division I men’s soccer, led by Stanford University (19-2-2) after capturing their third consecutive national championship on Sunday.

Led by head coach Jeremy Gunn and MAC Hermann Trophy finalist Tomas Hilliard-Arce, Stanford joined the University of Virginia (1991-1994) as the only teams in NCAA Division I men’s soccer history to win three straight titles with a double overtime victory over No. 2-ranked Indiana in the College Cup final at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Penn.
