If you go by national championships, for the men it is Saint Louis University, since they have 10 national titles, which is the most for any men's Division 1 program at the current time, and most tournament appearances with 43. If you mean women's soccer, the answer has to be the University of North Carolina, with 19 Divsion 1 national titles.

Indiana University
From Wikipedia--
The Hoosiers have won seven national championships in men's soccer: 1982, '83, '88, '98, '99, 2003 and 2004 - the first six teams led by coach Jerry Yeagley. Sixtime National Coach of the Year Jerry Yeagley turned the Hoosier program into the most storied in college sports. After leading the Hoosiers for 31 years, Yeagley retired after the 2003 season and turned the reins over to long time assistant and former Hoosier All-American, Mike Freitag. He was an assistant to Yeagley for 11 seasons before taking over the head job. Freitag did not skip a beat adding the program's seventh national title in his inaugural year in 2004. It marked the third occasion in which IU had won back-to-back national titles and it was the program's record 17th appearance in the College Cup.
In their third decade of varsity competition, the Hoosiers are one of the most storied traditions in all of collegiate athletics. In the program's 32 seasons, Indiana owns more wins (563), has appeared in more College Cups (17) and has a higher winning percentage in both regular season (.821) and post-season play (.768) than any other school in Division I soccer. It's last NCAA Title came in 2004-2005 when it beat UC Santa Barbara in penalty kicks 1-1 (3-2 PK's).
Three of Yeagley's NCAA titles happened during the 1980s, giving the Hoosiers a number of other impressive credentials to earn the title of "Team of the 1980s." During that span Indiana appeared in six College Cups, recorded 182 wins, posted a .813 winning percentage (182-35-18), and boasted a 22-6 (.786) mark during NCAA Tournament play. All of those accomplishments were NCAA soccer bests.
In addition to being a six-time National Coach of the Year, Yeagley also was the recipient of the prestigious Bill Jeffery Award, in recognition of his outstanding and unique contributions to intercollegiate soccer. In 1989, Yeagley was inducted into the United States Soccer Federation Hall of Fame, the highest honor a collegiate soccer coach can receive.
The honors have been reaped by IU players as well. Five Hermann Trophy winners (including Ken Snow twice), three Missouri Athletic Club Players of the Year including Yeagley's son Todd who went on to play in the MLS for the Columbus Crew. He is now an assistant coach for the Hoosiers. Danny O'Rourke also won the M.A.C. Hermann Trophy (the M.A.C Player of the Year and Hermann Trophy were combined into one award prior to the 2002 season). The Hoosiers have had 13 National Team players, six Olympians and six World Cup players have donned the Cream and Crimson. In addition, Hoosier players have earned All-America honors 52 times.
The Hoosier soccer team has remained incredibly popular among the student body as well. Every year since the NCAA began tracking men's soccer attendance in 2001, the IU program has ranked among the top three in at least one of the two categories (average attendance and total attendance) and has never ranked lower than sixth in any category. Indiana led the nation in average attendance in 2004 and 2005 and in total attendance in 2003 .
