context_page_description: The 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship Game was the final game of the 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Championship, determining the national champion for the 2017 NCAA Division I men's soccer season. The match was played on December 10, 2017 at Talen Energy Stadium in Chester, Pennsylvania, a soccer-specific stadium that is home to the Major League Soccer club Philadelphia Union. The match was contested between Stanford of the Pac-12 Conference and Indiana of the Big Ten Conference.
  After 90 scoreless minutes, the match was decided in the second period extra time on a golden goal from Stanford's Sam Werner. The win gave Stanford their third consecutive NCAA Division I Men's Soccer title, making them the second ever program to threepeat in the tournament, and the first program to do so since Bruce Arena's Virginia teams did so in 1994. Additionally, the victory gave Stanford an unprecedented 115th NCAA overall team title, moving ahead of UCLA. With the women's team also winning the Women's College Cup the week before, the title makes Stanford the first Division I school to win national titles in both men's and women's soccer in the same season.
