INDIANAPOLIS -- Earning an automatic bid as 2024 ACC Champions, the Wake Forest men's soccer team will be appearing in its 14th consecutive NCAA Men's Soccer Championship. The Demon Deacons earned the No. 8 national seed in the NCAA Tournament and a first round bye.
The Deacs will face the winner of the Maryland vs. LIU first round match on Sunday, Nov. 24 at 6 p.m.

ACC Champions For The Fourth Time
For the fourth time in program history, the Wake Forest men's soccer team has been crowded ACC Champions, as the No. 5 seeded Demon Deacons (10-4-7) completed a thrilling run to the title with a 1-1 (7-6 PKs) victory against No. 2 seeded Clemson (14-2-4) on Sunday afternoon at WakeMed Soccer Park.
The 2024 squad joins the 1989, 2016 and 2017 teams in claiming an ACC Tournament title, as the last three have come under the direction of 10th-year head coach Bobby Muuss.
Since Muuss' hiring prior to the start of the 2015 season, the Demon Deacons have claimed a conference-best three ACC Tournament titles and won a league-high five divisional titles (2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2023) under the previous scheduling format.
