The 1998 NAC was held at Loyola University in New Orleans from May 29 to June 1, and Marymount University in Arlington, VA from June 11-14.

[[1998 State College|State College]] defeated [[1998 James Island|James Island]] in the final 400-380. This was the third time in four years that James Island lost the NAC championship game.

James Island defeated [[1998 Irmo|Irmo]] in the New Orleans finals to earn free travel to Washington to compete for overall championship. Both graduating senior [[Justin Powell]] and returning junior [[Ryan Cooper]] of James Island were inducted into the [[NAC Hall of Fame]] after the tournament.

Teams which lost in the local semifinals included [[1998 Walton|Walton]] and [[1998 New Orleans Jesuit|New Orleans Jesuit]] in New Orleans, and [[1998 Riverside|Riverside]] and [[1998 Aiken|Aiken]] in DC.

[[1998 Manheim Township|Manheim Township]] set several scoring records, including being the only team to score 400 points in every prelim match, scoring 470 PPG in the prelims, and scoring 635 points in a single game against [[1998 Highlands Ranch|Highlands Ranch]], but was upset in the DC quarterfinals by eventual fourth-place finisher and "Rookie of the Year" [[1998 Verona|Verona]]. A "Sportsmanship Award" was given to the Manheim Township team, which had won it before, after team captain [[Jeff Hoppes]] applauded the victory of their DC quarterfinals opponent [[1998 Verona|Verona]].

[[1998 St. Clement's|St. Clement's]] became the first Canadian team and first all-female team to compete at the NAC itself (though [[1988 Earl Haig|Earl Haig]] had competed in the affiliated [[Texaco Star North American Challenge]]).

[[1998 Dorman|Dorman]] became the first school to advance two teams to the NAC playoffs.

Due to the unexpected inclusion of the top 2-2 teams in the playoffs, [[1998 Ridgewood|Ridgewood]] left the tournament without knowing they had made the playoffs and had to forfeit their elimination game, even after the game was delayed from Saturday evening to Sunday morning at the gracious request of opponent [[1998 Verona|Verona]].

Future collegiate players who participated in the tournament included [[Jacob Mikanowski]] and [[Martin Devecka]] of State College, Hoppes, and [[Sahir Islam]], who played for the [[1998 Somers|Somers]] team.
