The 2007 season was the first, and so far only, season where the program won the NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament, where they bested Ohio State in the championship match. The Deacons won the match 2-1, in a come-from behind victory. Wake Forest's Marcus Tracy tied the match in the 66th minute, while Zack Schilawski scored the match-winner in the 74th minute.[1]
Background
Wake Forest finished the 2006 season as the regular season co-champions alongside Duke.[2] They were given the number two seed for the 2006 ACC Men's Soccer Tournament, in which they lost to Duke in the championship game 0–1.[3] Despite the loss, the team earned a place in the 2006 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament as the two seed for an at-large bid.[4] After beating Santa Clara in the quarterfinals, Wake Forest would go on to face UC Santa Barbara in the College Cup.[5] However, they would lose to UC Santa Barbara 3–4 on penalties.[6]
Review
As of the 2018 NCAA Division I Men's Soccer Tournament, the 2007 title remains the only title won in Wake Forest program history.[7] The team would have three players, Pat Phelan, Brian Edwards, and Julian Valentin, selected in the 2008 MLS SuperDraft, with Phelan picked in the first round.[8]
Roster
The following players played on the 2007 team.[9]
