Syracuse is 9-2-0 the past two seasons against non-conference opponents. Last year, SU steamrolled through the non-conference portion of the regular season, posting a 7-2-0 record.

The Orange has outscored its non-league foes by the count of 29-5 and recorded nine shutouts, including two this season, during that stretch.

The Orange has ranked in the top 50 nationally in home attendance in six of the last seven seasons, averaging almost 900 fans per game during that span.

Syracuse achieved its highest attendance ranking in school history (No. 20) in 2012. At least 1,000 fans attended seven of the team's eight home matches last year.

SU's 2013 home opener against Hartwick attracted a crowd of 1,633, the third-largest crowd in SU Soccer Stadium history.

Jorden Scott is in his first year as head coach of the Jaspers after spending three seasons as a Manhattan assistant.
