The road to Cary is long and treacherous, but there’s nothing better than finally reaching the destinations. Sixty-four teams began the trek, but only four remain as the tournament is down to the end.
Duke is the only No. 1 seed to remain after defeating Virginia Tech in the quarterfinals. The Blue Devils will face conference and in-state rival North Carolina as the Tar Heels compete for their 22nd national title and first under interim coach Damon Nahas.
Across the bracket are two more ACC squads, Stanford and Wake Forest. The Demon Deacon defeated top-seeded USC in penalties to return to the College Cup for the first time since 2011. Downing the three-time champions from Stanford is no easy task, but they’ve done it once before. The Cardinal are ready for another challenge after beating Arkansas and Notre Dame to secure their trip to Cary, North Carolina.
The ACC is a soccer conference. For the first time, all teams playing in the finals are from the same conference. While these squads are familiar with each other, only one can bring home the national championship. It all starts now.
Here’s how to be part of the action and get tickets to the College Cup matches at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary.
