CARY, N.C. - Virginia beat UCLA 4-2 on penalty kicks after a scoreless tie to win the NCAA men's soccer title Sunday.
The Cavaliers won when Riggs Lennon slipped a low shot past diving UCLA goalkeeper Earl Edwards Jr. in the fifth round.
The Cavaliers (14-6-3) won their seventh national title, their first since 2009. They beat Akron that year, also winning on penalty kicks after a scoreless match.
Virginia's victory came 17 years to the day of the last time it met UCLA in the NCAA final, a 2-0 victory by the Bruins in Richmond, Va.
