[a]The 1995 NIRSA national soccer championship was the 2nd NIRSA National Soccer Championships, the annual national championships for United States-based, collegiate club soccer teams organized by NIRSA. It took place at Georgia Southern University in Statesboro, Georgia from Thursday, November 16 to Saturday, November 18, 1995.[1]

Overview[edit]

Men's championship[edit]

[2][3][4][5][6]

Women's championship[edit]

In the finals, reigning champions Miami (OH) would face Colorado. Colorado would go on to win the second ever national championship and former Texas A&M varsity player, Brittan Hlista of Colorado, would be named the MVP.[7]

Men's open[edit]

In the inaugural open tournament, in-state rivals Rice and hosts Texas' "B" team would face off. In the seeding matches, Rice would tie one match and lose the other two to claim the sixth seed while Texas "B" would be undefeated and, while unknown, claimed either the 1st, 4th, or 5th seed. In the quarterfinals, Rice would defeat in-city rival and 3 seed, Sam Houston State, 4-0. In the semifinals, Texas "B" would defeat Kirkwood Community College while Rice would tie Texas Tech 1-1 after regulation meaning overtime would be required. Rice's midfielder Mike Eggen, who scored Rice's first goal, would score in overtime to send his team to the finals. In the finals, Rice's Mike Eggen would open the scoring but Texas "B" would tie the game up shortly after that. The game would remain tied 1-1 through regulation and overtime meaning a penalty shootout would determine the champion. Rice would make four of their five kicks and would defeat Texas "B".

However, shortly after this, tournament officials determined Rice used an ineligible player and vacated their title. Rather than leaving the first title without a champion, Texas "B" would be given the title and since they lost to Rice in the semifinals, Texas Tech would be judged as the runners-up with Kirkland CC being judged as a "finalist". To date, this is the only time an open division team as been judged to have used ineligible players and the only time when a forfeited title was given to another team (the only other instance of this was in 2006 where Illinois men vacated their title but the championship was left without a champion rather than awarding it to the finalists, Utah Valley State).[8]
