The Syracuse Orange men’s soccer team has had a very solid run over the past decade. So much so that they’ve had six straight years with at least one MLS SuperDraft pick, and the school honored coach Ian MacIntyre with a Best XI of his tenure at the school. The decade saw the move from the Big East to the ACC, a College Cup run in 2015 and six Generation Adidas signings. It also saw the emergence of the Clemson Tigers as a potential rival for the Orange.
While the ACC top to bottom is a fantastic conference and the addition of the Orange in 2013 was a quality move for the squad, it upset many traditional games that were played year-in and year-out.
