THE SERIES
Wake Forest leads the all-time series with Syracuse, 3-1-1. Prior to last year's 1-1 tie at the SU Soccer Stadium, the home team had prevailed in the previous four meetings.
Last season, the teams met at the SU Soccer Stadium. Miles Robinson was assessed a red card on a corner kick for the Orange at the 5:15 mark, forcing Syracuse to play with just 10 players on the field for the remainder of the match. Wake Forest took the lead in the 23rd minute on a Jon Bakero goal, but the Orange evened the score on Kamal Miller's goal in the 35 minute mark. That was the only scoring in the match as it ended in a 1-1 draw.
