For the first time since 2016, a Syracuse Orange team is set to defend a National Championship.
Ian McIntyre and men’s soccer captured the program’s first NCAA title in a penalty shootout with Indiana, and now seven months after winning it all, the freshly extended Brit is ready to get back to work.
Only a few weeks and our @CuseMSOC team will be back on the pitch. Can’t wait to see everyone at the SU Soccer Stadium and on our travels this year! A really challenging schedule will test our new squad and it will help us to grow as a team. We have missed you… see you soon! ⚽️ https://t.co/yTZMK7KaR0

Fortunately, Mac worked his transfer portal magic yet again. Our resident “Syracuse is a Fútbol School” truther and podcast producing extraordinaire Steve can get you caught up on SU’s spring additions. Go Orange!
