KISSIMMEE, FLA. – After trailing late in the first half, Campbellsville rallied in the second half to win the NCCAA National Championship 3-1 over Judson University for the first time in program history.
 
The Tigers were in a deadlock battle the first 20 minutes of play. Neither team was able to get any clean looks on the goal as defenses and offenses were keeping play in the midfield.
 
Judson was able to strike first coming in the 30^th minute after traffic in the box led to the goal with the Eagles going into the halftime break with a 1-0 lead.
 
Campbellsville set the tone the first five minutes of the second half. In the first half, Campbellsville was only able to record four shots total. The team came into the second half slamming the ball down the middle collecting 17 shots while 13 of those were on frame.
 
The first goal came from Antonio Quinta in the 53^rd minute with a ball at the top of the box. Campbellsville was able to capitalize immediately following the tying goal with another goal coming 13 minutes later in the 66^thminute when Eleder Goicoechea had the game winning goal to press the Tigers lead to 2-1.
 
Sebastiano Musu put the final touch on the night for the Tigers when he scored the third and final goal of the night in the 84^th minute. Musu was named the top scorer of the tournament with that final goal.
 
Goicoechea was named the most valuable player of the tournament for the Tigers and Tom Edge was named to the all-tournament team. Edge would set one last milestone in his final appearance for the Tigers. Edge eclipsed his 100^th cap of his career for Campbellsville beating out his assistant coach on September 25^th in the match against Shawnee State at 84 games. 
 
"I'm incredibly grateful for this program," said assistant coach Sin. "The significant impact that it has had on my life and I'm truly honored to be able to give back and continue to grow the legacy that Adam has built."
 
"It's hard to put into words what something like this means," said Coach Preston. "I know this wouldn't be possible without all the young men throughout our history that have made contributions of the blood sweat and tears that they left out on the field. I'm grateful for this team and see so many faces in this championship."
 
"And finally, I would like to thank our Athletic Director Jim Hardy and our Vice President for Athletics Rusty Hollingsworth."
 
The Tigers conclude the season with an overall record of 16-5-2.
