[NAIA TOURNAMENT] Belhaven got goals from Victor Lawrence and Tom Cosgrave and beat Mobile, 2-0, to win the NAIA men's championship in Montgomery, Ala. The Blazers' only previous national championship final was in 1992.

They gained revenge for a 3-1 loss to Mobile in the Southern States Athletic Conference during the regular season.

"This is a special experience," said Belhaven coach Brian McMahon, who just completed his first season with the Blazers. "Since the day I came in here, the department has been very supportive and always trying to continue to move it forward. It is a great experience for the team, but also for the school. It's great to see faculty and staff here. It's just an awesome honor."
As the No. 12 seed, Belhaven is the lowest seed to win the national title since unseeded Bethel (Tenn.) got past Rio Grande, 2-1, in the 2008 championship.
