Winning one National Championship is a feat in itself, but very few teams can claim consecutive titles. With the target on their back, every opponent gave maximum effort to dethrone the 1984 John Brown University men's soccer team.
Returning nine players from the 1983 championship team, the Golden Eagles began the season 1-4-2 before winning before capturing six of its next seven regular season contests.
After a 1-0 forfeit win over Oklahoma Wesleyan in the NCCAA District Championship, the Golden Eagles earned the second seed to the NCCAA National Championships, landing a bye in the quarterfinals.
Posting much more narrow results than the prior year, the Golden Eagles edged past Grand Rapids Baptist, now Cornerstone (Mich.), 3-1, before taking a 2-1 win over Tennessee Temple - besting the Crusaders in the title game for the second straight season.
Glenroy Corbin and George Mondi each tallied a team-leading 10 goals while keeper Joe Rider posted 138 saves (8.1 saves per game) over the 17-match season.
The Golden Eagles claimed four spots on the NCCAA All-Tournament team with Glenroy Corbin, Charles Cumberbatch, Lambert Joseph and Kenny Pantophlet. Corbin was named the tournamnet MVP while Lambert Joseph received the Best Defensive Player award.
Joel Whiteman, Charles Cumberbatch, Lambert Joseph and Glenroy Corbin were all named NCCAA All-American at the conclusion of the season. Jospeh also garnered NAIA All-America honorable mention.
