The men’s soccer team looked like one of the top programs in the country early in the season, beginning the season 6-0 and rising as high as No. 15 in the country. However, the wheels fell off due to problems both on and off the field as the Wolfpack stumbled to a 10-10 overall record, including just one ACC win.
Midway through the season, four players were booted off the team after an altercation at a local bar. Among those dismissed included sophomore forward Monbo Bokar, the team’s leading goal scorer. The season was capped by a disappointing 3-2 loss to Virginia Tech in the ACC Tournament, in which the Pack let a 2-0 lead slip away.
There were bright spots on the season, including the play of junior midfielder Alex Martinez. The transfer from High Point finished with 11 goals and 10 assists and was named first team All-ACC. Still, the team’s poor play down the stretch has head coach Kelly Findley searching for answers this offseason.
