Syracuse Orange is the NCAA college soccer team for Syracuse University in Syracuse, New York. They are a Division I team in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
Syracuse is currently coached by Ian McIntyre who has brought the team to the National Championship, two NCAA Tournament College Cup, and two ACC Conference Titles in 2015 and 2022. McIntyre was named the National College Coach of the Year in 2022, the ACC Coach of the Year in 2014 and 2022, and the Big East Coach of the Year in 2012.[1] [2] [3]
The Orange won the National Championship in the 2022 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, defeating eight time NCAA Champions Indiana 7-6 on Penalty Kicks.[4]
Syracuse fielded its first varsity soccer team in 1920.[5] The program rose to national prominence early in its history, being recognized by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association as national champions for 1936. Syracuse competed with the other northeastern soccer programs as an independent until 1979. The University was a founding member of the Big East Conference in 1979[6] and the Orange broke new ground in 1982 when they finished with a record of 17-3-2 and won the inaugural BIG EAST Tournament[7] by beating Boston College in the final. On July 1, 2013, Syracuse joined the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
