There’s two really big soccer matches this upcoming Syracuse Soccer Saturday. At 10am, the United States Men’s National Team looks to extend their World Cup Campaign against the Netherlands. At 2pm, the Syracuse Orange make history, hosting a national quarterfinal matchup for the first time, as they take on the Vermont Catamounts at Syracuse Soccer Stadium.

Syracuse beat the Penn Quakers to open their campaign in the second round of the tournament and then avenged their regular season loss to the Cornell Big Red to advance out of the third round of the tournament. They’ll play host to a veteran Vermont side who has started to put it together at the right time.
