This was the 40th. edition of this tournament organised by the NCAA.
The match featured Florida State (21âÂÂ1âÂÂ3), which played its 6th. final, and BYU (17âÂÂ5âÂÂ3), which made its 1st. appearance in the final. After both teams tied on regular time, extra time was played but the score remained the same so a penalty shoot-out was conducted to determine a champion.
