The Division 3 men’s soccer season has arrived at its Final Four with no shortage of achievements and surprises along the way.

Thirteen teams from New England qualified for the NCAA tournament. One of them is still playing.

On Friday, No. 3 Tufts (16-0-3) will face 10th-ranked Rochester (16-2-2) in the national semifinals in Greensboro, N.C., with the winner advancing to play either No. 4 Chicago (18-2-1) or No. 1 Calvin (21-1) in the championship on Saturday afternoon.

With one big weekend of soccer left, it’s time to take a look back at the season that was in Div. 3, with New England Soccer Journal handing out its awards to the region’s top achievers. The slate of awards is led by NESCAC programs, part of what's widely regarded as the nation's top conference.
