Horizon 2011
The Valparaiso Crusaders men's soccer team represented Valparaiso University (Valpo) in NCAA Division I soccer competition[2] as a member of the Missouri Valley Conference[3] The Crusaders played home matches at Brown Field on the Valpo campus in Valparaiso, Indiana.
History
Valparaiso began playing men's soccer in 1983. The Beacons were a charter member of the Association of Mid-Continent Universities in 1982 and entered Mid-Con soccer competition in 1988. In 2007, Valpo began a ten-year all-sports membership in the Horizon League. In May 2017, the Missouri Valley Conference extended an invitation for the Crusaders to join; after concluding conference play for the year, Valparaiso accepted the invitation on May 25, with the move being effective on July 1.[3]
Following the 2019 NCAA Division I men's soccer season, Valparaiso will cut the sport and men's tennis in order to allow greater attention to the school's other sports teams.[4]
