This drew some interest when I did the same for women's soccer, so I'm starting up a running thread for anything related to the 2024 season for Notre Dame men's soccer. The idea is to have threads like this for some of the Notre Dame athletic programs that we don't cover as closely.
The Notre Dame men's soccer team will start the season tonight with a home game against Akron. The Irish entered the season ranked No. 2 in the United Soccer Coaches poll after a 13-3-6 season last year that ended with a loss to Clemson in the NCAA Tournament final.
Clemson is ranked No. 1 to start the season. Eight other ACC teams are also in the top 25: No. 5 Stanford, No. 6 North Carolina, No. 10 SMU, No. 13 Virginia, No. 15 Wake Forest, No. 20 Duke, No. 24 Louisville and No. 25 Syracuse.
Notre Dame was picked to finish second in the ACC in its preseason poll. Senior midfielder Bryce Boneau was selected to the preseason All-ACC team.
