The 2024 NCAA Division I Men's College Cup kicks off Friday at WakeMed Soccer Park in Cary, North Carolina.
No. 3 Denver takes on Vermont in one single-elimination semifinal, followed by a matchup between top-ranked Ohio State and No. 13 Marshall on the other side of the bracket. Ohio State is the first team to end the regular season ranked No. 1 after being unranked in the United Soccer Coaches preseason poll since Wake Forest in 2015. The Buckeyes face a Marshall squad that won it all in 2020. Vermont is set to make its first appearance in the College Cup, while Denver is making its second. The Pioneers lost to Wake Forest in the semifinals in 2016.
