Championship Press Release

Manhattan Christian College & Baptist Bible College Score Championship Titles

Kissimmee, FL - The National Christian College Athletic Association (NCCAA) conducted its 2008 Division II Soccer Championship Series at Austin-Tindall Regional Park last week with Manhattan Christian College (KS) and Baptist Bible College (PA) winning the Division II National Soccer Titles for men’s and women’s soccer, respectively. 

For the DII National Women’s Championship, #1 seeded Baptist Bible College, Clarks Summit, Pennsylvania, blanked their competition on their way to the national title.  On Thursday, a convincing 9-0 win over #5 seeded Cincinnati Christian University (OH) showed the Defenders’ dominance.  Then Saturday’s 2-0 victory over #4 Manhattan Christian College (KS) set the stage to play for the NCCAA National Title on Monday against #2 Southeastern University (FL), who had also held their opponents scoreless throughout the championship tournament. 

In the championship match, while BBC scored early, both teams showed a strong defense limiting each other to only four quality shots on goal for the match.  BBC was able to hang on 1-0 for their third shutout win, earning the NCCAA Division II 2008 National Women’s Soccer Championship Title. 

For the men, #1 seeded Manhattan Christian College, Manhattan, Kansas, outscored their opponents 11-1 to earn the DII National Men’s Soccer Championship.  Championship play began on Friday with the MCC Crusaders easily defeating #8 seeded Johnson Bible College (TN) 4-0.  #5 Philadelphia Biblical University (PA) scored the only goal against MCC, but it wasn’t enough as the Crusaders came out on top 4-1 advancing to the national finals. 

Monday’s championship game matched Manhattan against #3 Providence College (Manitoba, Canada) who came into the finals having held their opponents scoreless, but advancing in a penalty kick shootout (0-0 OT, 4-2 PKs) in Round 2 over #2 Southeastern University (FL).  With a Crusader goal midway through the first half of the championship match, PC had to adjust their play for more attack.  However, MCC clearly controlled the play of the game going on to score two more goals to blank Providence 3-0 and securing the NCCAA Division II 2008 National Men’s Soccer Championship Title. 

NCCAA Soccer Championship play will continue at Austin-Tindall Regional Park, 4100 Boggy Creek Road, Kissimmee, FL, December 3-6, 2008, as Division I men’s and women’s teams battle for national titles.  Tickets are:  Adult - $20 per 3-day pass or $10 per day pass; Students (ages 12-21) & Seniors (over 60) - $15 per 3-day pass or $8 per day pass; children 11 years old or younger are free. 

Each participating team will take part in a pre-tournament community outreach endeavor organized by the NCCAA and On Goal Soccer.  Local outreach will involve a free youth clinic benefiting the Kissimmee, St. Cloud and Osceola County youth.  The clinic will be held Wednesday, December 3 from 5:45-6:45 p.m. at Austin-Tindall Regional Park.  The clinics, for ages 6-17, are free.  Each child should bring his/her own ball.

These exciting events will bring another 300 student-athletes to Central Florida.  Partnering together to assist the NCCAA with this event are the Kissimmee-St. Cloud Convention & Visitors’ Bureau, the Central Florida Sports Commission, Seralago Hotel & Suites Main Gate East,, Greater Osceola United Soccer Club (GOUSC), BRINE, St. Cloud Youth Soccer, and On Goal Soccer.
