WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- Tickets for Wednesday's ACC Men's Soccer Semifinal game at Spry Stadium between No. 1 Wake Forest and fourth-seeded Notre Dame are now on sale through the Wake Forest Ticket Office. First kick between the Deacs and Irish is set for 7 p.m.
All tickets are priced at $5. Tickets will follow the regular season ticketing policy, meaning only seats in Spry Stadium will cost $5 and the Walt Chyzowych Alumni Hill along Polo Road is free. Children three years of age and under will be admitted free of charge. Any student with an ACC school college ID will also be admitted free of charge.
Wake Forest, the top-ranked team in the nation, has already topped Notre Dame once this season back on Oct. 23, also at Spry Stadium. The Irish went up 1-0 early in the first half, but Wake Forest scored twice in the second half with the game-winner coming from Jon Bakero in the 87th minute to complete the comeback.
Currently, Notre Dame is ranked No. 8 in this week's release of the Top Drawer Soccer rankings while checking in at No. 9 in last week's NSCAA and Soccer America polls. The Irish are also No. 7 in the NCAA RPI rankings, meaning Wednesday's contest will be the 12th of the season for the Demon Deacons against teams currently in the Top 30 of the list.
The Deacs reached the semifinals via a 2-1 win on Sunday at Spry Stadium over ninth-seeded Louisville. After scoring in the 12th minute, Wake Forest conceded the lead in the 72nd minute but Jacori Hayes notched his fifth game-winner of the season 4:40 into overtime to send the Deacs to the next round.
Notre Dame advanced to the semifinals via a 1-0 victory over fifth-seeded Virginia that saw the Irish score the lone goal of the game with 3:03 to play as Brandon Aubrey scored his third of the season on a header off a corner kick.
With 2,189 fans in attendance at Sunday's ACC Quarterfinal against Louisville, Wake Forest broke the single-season attendance record of 29,296, which was set during the 2007 national championship run. To date this season, 30,485 fans have attended a game at Spry Stadium.
Any questions about ticketing should be directed to the Wake Forest Ticket Office at (336) 758-3322.
Should the Demon Deacons top Notre Dame, Wake Forest would host the ACC Championship Finals on Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. at Spry Stadium thanks to its sixth regular-season title in program history clinched on Oct. 30. Opposite the Deacs at Spry on Sunday would be the winner of third-seeded Clemson and seventh-seeded Syracuse.
