North Carolina is clearly the most dominant team on this list, appearing three times here. The team recorded 17 more consecutive home wins than UCLA for the top spot with 84 between 1986 and 1994. The Tar Heels were the most powerful force in women's soccer during this time, claiming every single national championship between 1982 and 1994. They would go also on to win four of the next five national titles.
1000 wins for this legend and an equally important s/o to his rock, (his wife) M’Liss. Congrats, Anson! And we love you, M’Liss ! ❤️

With 51 consecutive wins between 2008 and 2012, last season's national champion Stanford takes third place. The Cardinal appeared in the 2009 and 2010 national championships, losing 1-0 to both North Carolina and Notre Dame.
