Notre Dame wins NCAA soccer title

CHESTER, Pa. -- Confetti rained down, the Notre Dame fight song "Victory March" blasted over the loudspeakers and everyone on the Fighting Irish's soccer team ran to one side of the field to celebrate.

For the first time in the school's proud athletic history, Notre Dame was on top of the men's college soccer world.

Led by goals from Andrew O'Malley and Leon Brown, and another big game from College Cup co-Most Outstanding Player Harrison Shipp, Notre Dame won its first men's soccer title with a 2-1 victory over Maryland on Sunday at PPL Park. The Fighting Irish finished the season 17-1-6.

"We're all smiling big smiles," said 68-year-old coach Bobby Clark, who won his first title in 27 years coaching at Dartmouth, Stanford and Notre Dame.
