BLOOMINGTON, Ind. – For Indiana, now the real soccer fun begins. Now the Hoosiers can focus on what they've done better than any other college program in the last 50 years:

Win another men's national title.

Fun begins Sunday when the No. 3-seed Hoosiers (9-1-1) face and St. Francis Brooklyn (6-1-2) in North Carolina.

First, though, a little history.

St. Louis won 10 national championships from 1959 to 1973, and none since. That was before participating NCAA tourney teams jumped from eight to 48, before national parity kicked in, and before Indiana and Virginia muscled their way into the limelight.
