Amherst captured the 2024 Division 3 men's national championship. (NCAA)
Sweet redemption.
The Amherst men’s soccer team captured the 2024 Division 3 national championship on Saturday in dramatic fashion over a familiar foe.
The Mammoths defeated NESCAC rival Connecticut College, 4-3 in penalty kicks, after a scoreless triple overtime showdown in Las Vegas, Nev. It’s Amherst’s first championship title in nine years and second all-time, after the program fell in the 2023 NCAA championship game.
In fact, Amherst played its fourth final in five seasons and it was a rematch of the 2021 NCAA final that saw Connecticut College win in a PK shootout.
