1972 NAIA Soccer Championship

Westmont defeated Davis & Elkins in the final, 2–1, to claim the Warriors' first NAIA national title.

Davis & Elkins would later forfeit their second-place finish after it was determined they fielded an ineligible player.

For the third consecutive year, the final was played in Dunn, North Carolina.

Unlike the previous three years, however, additional fifth- and seventh-place finals were not contested.
