WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- With men's soccer conference tournaments in the books, No. 1 Wake Forest will learn its path through the NCAA Championship on Monday, Nov. 16, at 1 p.m. with the NCAA Selection Show.
The show will be aired live on NCAA.com. This year's NCAA Championship appearance would be the 19th in program history and the 13th in the last 14 seasons. Wake Forest is looking to be one of the seeded teams for the first time since being the No. 14-seed in the 2013 tournament. That year, the Deacs made the third round before losing to Notre Dame, 4-2. Last season, the Demon Deacons battled UMBC to a scoreless draw before falling 3-2 in penalty kicks. After beating Wake Forest, the Retrievers went on to participate in the College Cup but fell to eventual national champion Virginia.
The NCAA Championship is set to start on Thursday, Nov. 19. Should Wake Forest earn a seed in the tournament, the Demon Deacons would start their tournament run on Sunday, Nov. 22, against a team that won a first-round matchup on Nov. 19. The first four rounds of the tournament will be played at campus sites with the College Cup scheduled for Dec. 11 and 13 in Kansas City, Kansas, at Sporting Park, home of Sporting Kansas City of Major League Soccer (MLS).
