CORAL GABLES, Fla. – The University of Miami soccer team is leaving the warmth of south Florida for the cold of the Northeast this weekend.

The Hurricanes are set to take on Syracuse Thursday at 8 p.m. at SU Soccer Stadium, with the match to be broadcast live on RSN, which will be FOX Sports Sun in the Miami area.

Miami’s contest against the Orange is part of a two-match road swing up North, as the team will travel to Boston College to face the Eagles Sunday at 1 p.m. These are the final two remaining away matches on the schedule for Miami (5-9-0, 2-5-0 ACC).
