Username aside, it's hard to ignore 1999 SLU.  22-0, national champs.  Dan Annan national player of the year.

I've said it before on here and I'll say it again.
The 2000 Ohio Wesleyan squad was ridiculous.
Lost in the quarters to an undefeated Linfield in the 4th OT - OWU dominated and the Linfield keeper was standing on his head. 
Ty, Hoffman, Van Horn, Vorenkamp, Dunlap, Tacuma, the Miller boys.  So many weapons.  Best team I played against.
The D3 world was deprived of seeing them play Messiah in the semis - the year that Messiah won #1.

You probably could name a few Messiah Teams. I will pick the 2002 Team
23-2-1
Losses to Gettysburg(1-0) and Etown(1-0) - I believe these were both away matches and I can't remember who the tie was.
Won the National Championship (1-0 vs. Otterbein)
9 straight shutouts(2nd longest streak if my research doesn't fail me)
I believe 17 shutouts on the year(Dave Casper - Goalkeeper)
Matt Bills put up like 30 goals that year
Hayden Woodworth running the midfield (NCAA Player of the Year)
I am sure I could list more players but those are a few that standout to me right now.

This would be my ranking of the Messiah teams:

1. Messiah 2013  24-1-1.  2 NSCAA POY of year; Payne & Wood... and just an incredible front 6 with an AA Defender.  Probably the best I've ever see in D3.   
2. Messiah 2002  23-2-1
3. Messiah 2012  23-0-2
4. Messiah 2005  24-0-0
5. Messiah 2000  22-2-1

The 2007 team had 3 All-Americans... lost in Final 4.

[lastguyoffthebench]

Wheaton and the 66 game unbeaten run...

Trinity unbeaten season in 2003; 24-0.... Drew '03 with something like 16 or 17 straight shut-outs and lost to Trinity 2-1 in Final.

Rutgers-Camden unbeaten season before falling to Messiah in the 2013 final

Williams '95

Stockton '01  --- Most win in NCAA with 25

[Sandy]

9 straight shutouts(2nd longest streak if my research doesn't fail me)

I'm not sure that's correct.

[lastguyoffthebench]

I think Etown had 10 straight shutouts in 99...
The 2000 Etown team was 15-3, missed a pool C bid (lost to Messiah 2x by a goal, once in OT) and Drew

[firstplaceloser]

of course we have to throw the messiahs in there but I want to hear about other teams. LGOTB it's a real shame that 2013 ruc team couldn't pull it off. If they played any other team other than messiah they would've went undefeated that year. I will also agree that the 2013 Falcons was the best team I have seen play. I would like to see a rematch of that 2013 team with Camden having no injuries and not playing a double overtime game the night before. but still kudos to messiah for winning their 10th that year.

I'm not sure that's correct.

Here is the article. It is Consecutive shutouts to start the season. Article is written in 2013.

[Mid-Atlantic Fan]

Any Messiah national title team and even some of theres that came up short.

Overall I would say the 2013 Messiah team was the best that I have ever seen play the game. Unbelievable talent that year.
