The 2023 season is the 104th season of Syracuse University fielding a men's varsity soccer team. It was the program's 11th season in the Atlantic Coast Conference, and their 14th season with Ian McIntyre as the head coach of the program. Syracuse played their home matches at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse, New York.

The at-large bid Orange reached the second round of the 2023 NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament, where they lost to the 8th seeded New Hampshire.

Background

The 2022 season was the most successful season in program history. It was the first time a team from the university reached the NCAA Division I men's soccer tournament championship game going on to defeat #13 Indiana, 7-6 on penalties after a 2-2 draw.[1][2] It was the program's first national soccer title since 1936.

During the off-season, the team spent time in the UK, practicing against U21 squads for Brighton & Hove Albion, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Wolverhampton, and Leicester City.[3] The team was also invited to the College Athletes Day at the White House on June 12, 2023.[4][5]

On August 1, 2023, the team was ranked #1 in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25 preseason poll.[6][7]

Player Movement

After departure of many starters to professional ranks, the team welcomed 13 transfer players.[8]
