Soccer Heads North to Syracuse

CORAL GABLES, Fla. – After its match at Syracuse was postponed due to Hurricane Irma, the University of Miami soccer team is now set to travel to the Empire State to take on the Orange.

The Hurricanes will take the field at SU Soccer Stadium in Syracuse, N.Y., Wednesday at 1 p.m. The contest was initially scheduled for Sept. 15 as Miami’s ACC opener.
