Rankings from United Soccer Coaches |
Despite the delay, Kentucky, South Carolina, and UAB will be playing competitive fixtures during the fall season.
Due to the pandemic, the regular season champion earned the league's automatic bid.
Marshall, who won the conference, won the national title game 1–0 in overtime over Indiana. This was not only Marshall's first men's soccer title, but was also the first national title in a team sport won by a Conference USA member while affiliated with the league.[1]
Background
Previous season
The 2019 season saw Marshall win both the Conference USA regular season and tournament, the first time in program history. Marshall, Charlotte, and Kentucky earned berths into the 2019 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament. Charlotte and Kentucky were eliminated in the Second Round, while Marshall beat in-state rival, West Virginia to reach the Sweet Sixteen where they fell to the University of Washington.
Charlotte goalkeeper, Elliot Panicco earned the Senior CLASS Award.
