With a 12-2-4 regular season record, the NC State men’s soccer team is heading to the NCAA College Cup for a chance at the championship. This marks the Pack’s first trip to the men’s College Cup since 1990, and they’re ready to take it all.

The best part? The Pack has some home-field advantage. The College Cup is happening at WakeMed Soccer Park, home of the NC Courage + North Carolina FC. NC State’s first opponent is Saint Louis on Friday, and the winner will play the victor of No. 16 Furman vs. Washington on Monday. Grab your tickets now.
