"Led by 1983 USYSA Coach of the Year Hank Leung, Mason defeated North Carolina 2-0 in the NCAA Championship game on November 24, 1985, before a then-NCAA record 4,500 people in Fairfax. The Tar Heels (18-1-1) entered the match 10-0 all-time in the NCAA Tournament while Mason was 4-3. In the previous three championship matches, the Tar Heels had not allowed a goal."
"On the pitch, the Patriots were led by USA National Team players Pam Baughman, Kim Crabbe, and Kim Maslin. Baughman, a 3-time All-American, was awarded Most Outstanding Player honors for her efforts in the 1985 NCAA Tournament."
"Crabbe also played on the National Team in 1986 and played in the first Women's Olympic Festivals. Goalkeeper Maslin was a member of the 1991 National Team that won the first Women's World Cup in China. Lisa Gmitter, Kim Maslin, and Betsy Drambour were factors in their own rights, earning All-Tournament honors.
