Westmont men’s soccer beat Campbellsville (Kentucky) 3-1 on December 2 in Kissimmee, Florida, to claim the 2023 National Championship of the National Christian College Athletic Association. This is the second time Westmont Men’s Soccer has claimed a national title. The first was by the 1972 team that won the NAIA National Championship. 

“There is nothing more you can say about this group,” said head coach Morgan Cathey. “The reality is that they take every challenge and own it. They have grown so much this season in ways that I could never have foreseen or imagined. Their commitment is incredible and they are such a joy to coach.”

“I am really thankful to do it with these guys and especially with Coach,” said senior Daniel Tuscano, who scored the first two goals in the championship game and was named the Tournament MVP. “He has revolutionized the program and made everything mean something.”

The national championship is the 11th in Westmont history and marks the first time Westmont has won two national championships in one calendar year. Exactly six months prior, Westmont won the 2023 NAIA Baseball World Series in Lewiston, Idaho.
