Tech’s national championship dreams ended when Cinderella-story Briarcliffe College defeated the Golden Bears in front of a packed crowd at the John B. Lewis Soccer Complex in Asheville, N.C. However, the team had many accomplishments individually, and as a whole, throughout the season. The Golden Bears set a total of 85 individual and team records this season. Junior forward Joe Jackson set the single-season (11) and individual career mark (22) for assists, while freshman

Rodrigo Manzanares set the single season records for shots (76), points (50), and goals (20). Captain and goalkeeper John Dunn left his mark on WVU Tech Athletics leaving the university as the most decorated student-athlete in men's soccer while holding every record for which a goalkeeper is eligible. “I am very proud of our team’s commitment, hard work and dedication on and off the field,” commended head coach Luis Cortell.
