Syracuse fielded its first varsity soccer team in 1920.[5] The program rose to national prominence early in its history, being recognized by the Intercollegiate Soccer Football Association as national champions for 1936. Syracuse competed with the other northeastern soccer programs as an independent until 1979. The University was a founding member of the Big East Conference in 1979[6] and the Orange broke new ground in 1982 when they finished with a record of 17-3-2 and won the inaugural BIG EAST Tournament[7] by beating Boston College in the final. On July 1, 2013, Syracuse joined the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC).
