This new podcast will focus on SU men's and women's teams and what to expect as their seasons start.

Four years ago, few students attended the men’s and women’s soccer games. The seats were packed with families, youth soccer teams and visiting fans. But then a change happened and students started to show up to “Pack the Hill”.

Since then, men’s soccer has sent every team to the NCAA Tournament, won the ACC Tournament and reached the College Cup in 2015. The women’s team have improved every season, most recently producing their first .500 record since 2012.

The men's soccer team must replace eight starters from last year, while playing its toughest schedule in eight seasons.

Change is inevitable in college athletics. Players have four, maybe five years with a team. And if they are lucky, they have three years of playing together as the core of the team. After that, the team must rebuild. The men’s soccer team at Syracuse University is no exception.

The Orange have to replace eight players next season, which is no small task for any school.

“It is a big challenge this year, because of the turnover in the roster,” said head coach Ian McIntyre.
