CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – The 2025 ACC Men’s Soccer Championship kicked off Wednesday, November 5, with seven first-round matches, including three upsets by road teams. No. 9 seed North Carolina, No. 12 seed California and No. 13 seed Pitt scored first-round wins on the road, and they will be joined in the quarterfinals by Stanford, NC State, Syracuse and SMU, who earned home first-round wins on Wednesday.
 
ACC Network will broadcast all four quarterfinal matches on Sunday, beginning at 2 p.m. ET with No. 13 seed Pitt at No. 12 seed California. After earning a first-round bye, No. 1 seed Virginia plays host to No. 9 North Carolina at 4 p.m. ET, followed by No. 6 seed Syracuse at No. 3 seed NC State at 6 p.m. ET. No. 2 seed Stanford plays in the nightcap when it entertains No. 7 seed SMU at 8 p.m. ET.
 
Pitt became the lowest seed in tournament history to advance, as the Panthers pulled out a 1-0 victory at No. 4 seed Clemson. The Panthers next will travel to face California, which scored a 2-0 triumph at No. 5 seed Duke to land a home quarterfinal game in Berkeley; the Sunday winner will become the lowest seed to ever reach the ACC semis.
 
No. 7 seed SMU topped No. 10 seed Wake Forest, 5-4, matching the highest-scoring game in tournament history. After trailing at the half, the Mustangs took control with three second-half goals and also going up a man in the 76th minute on a Wake Forest red card. Despite playing with just 10 men, the Demon Deacons stormed back with goals in the 86th and 88th minute to knot the score. SMU came right back just over 90 seconds later with Landon Hickam scoring his first goal of the season with just 54 seconds remaining.
 
In the final match of the day, Stanford scored four unanswered goals, including three after halftime, to rally from a 2-0 deficit in the first 25 minutes and advance to the semifinals with a 4-2 win over No. 15 seed Boston College.
 
UNC bolted to a 2-0 first-half advantage and headed home with a 3-1 win at No. 9 seed Notre Dame. NC State rolled to a 3-0 win over No. 14 seed Louisville, and Syracuse topped No. 11 seed Virginia Tech, 2-1, in rainy conditions in Syracuse, New York.
 
The semifinals will be played Thursday, November 13, at First Horizon Stadium at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina, with the matches airing on ACC Network at 5:30 and 8 p.m. ET. The championship match will be broadcast from WakeMed Soccer Park on ESPNU on Sunday, November 16, at 1 p.m. ET.
