2025 NCAA Championship Bracket
CHARLOTTE, N.C. (theACC.com) – NC State advanced to its first NCAA Men’s College Cup since 1990 with a 3-2 win at No. 7 seed Georgetown on Saturday in Washington, D.C. The No. 15 seed Wolfpack will make its second-ever appearance in the national semifinals.
NC State advances to play Saint Louis in the semifinals on Friday, December 12, at 8:30 p.m. ET at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina. The other semifinal features No. 16 seed Furman and Washington. The championship match will be played on Monday, December 15. ESPNU will have the broadcasts of all three matches.
At least one ACC squad has now reached the Men’s College Cup in 23 of the last 25 seasons, and NC State is the 12th different league program to reach the sport’s highest stage in that span.
All five goals were scored during an eventful first half, with NC State bolting to a 2-0 lead just over seven minutes into the match on goals from Taig Healy and Drew Lovelace. After Georgetown scored in the 35th minute, the Wolfpack countered less than two minutes later on Carlos Santamaria’s penalty kick. The Hoyas scored just 50 seconds later to cut it to 3-2.
An ACC team has won the men’s national soccer championship 20 times – most of any conference – including three of the last four seasons with Clemson in 2021 and 2023 and Syracuse in 2022.
