First 200 Syracuse University students get in free for Sunday's NCAA game.
SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Orange head men's soccer coach Ian McIntyre has extended an exciting offer to students for Sunday's second-round NCAA Tournament match between Syracuse (13-5-3) and either Dartmouth (11-5-1) or Hartwick (11-5-3). Instead of paying $5 for a ticket, the first 200 Syracuse University students in attendance will receive free admission, courtesy of McIntyre and the Syracuse soccer program.
Â
"It's a small gesture to say thank you to our student body for supporting us all season," McIntyre said. "We have a great soccer community and their passion has been critical to creating one of the most exciting atmospheres in the country for college soccer."
Â
Students wishing to take advantage of McIntyre's offer should report to the student ticket booth outside the SU Soccer Stadium and present a valid Syracuse University ID card.
Â
Gates open at 1 p.m. and all fans are encouraged to arrive early for the 2 p.m. kickoff. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for youth ages 18 and under. Â Â Â Â Â
Â
As the No. 6 seed, Syracuse earned a bye in the tournament's first round. Sunday's second-round game versus the Dartmouth-Hartwick winner will be the second home NCAA match in team history.
Â
 The Orange is averaging nearly 1,300 fans per home game and drawn more than 1,000 fans six times, including three crowds of more than 2,000.
Â
"There's nothing better than playing at home," said Syracuse junior and ACC Tournament MVP Ben Polk. "It's like having a 12th man out there. Orange nation in incredible. We really, really, appreciate their support."
