The Demon Deacons are in search of their ACC-best 13th consecutive NCAA Tournament appearance.

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. -- In the quest for a 13th-straight NCAA Tournament appearance, the Wake Forest men's soccer team will learn its path in the 2023 NCAA Men's Soccer Championship during the selection show set to stream live on NCAA.com on Monday, Nov. 13 at 1 p.m. 

Currently 11-2-5 overall on the year, Wake Forest in October clinched the program's fifth ACC Atlantic Division title in nine seasons, as the Demon Deacons went 4-1-3 in conference action including a 3-0-2 record against Atlantic Division opponents. 

With five Atlantic Division titles, the Demon Deacons surpassed Clemson and North Carolina for the most ACC divisional titles since the current scheduling format was introduced in 2014. 

Wake Forest will be seeking to secure its 13th-straight NCAA Tournament berth, as the Demon Deacons have the nation's third-longest tournament appearances streak behind only Indiana and Maryland. Those three schools are also the only schools out of 212 Division I programs nationally to have a double-digit NCAA Tournament streak. 

Additionally, Wake Forest's 12 consecutive appearances in the NCAA Tournament are eight years more than any other school in the ACC:
