Top-ranked Syracuse beat Duke 2-0 while Louisville upset North Carolina 1-0 in the ACC Men’s Soccer Championship Quarterfinal this afternoon in front of 2,533 fans at Syracuse Soccer Stadium.

The Orange scored a pair of first-half goals and locked down Duke’s offense in the second half to post a 2-0 win over the No. 7 seed Blue Devils.

Duke drops to 9-9-1 overall record, while Syracuse moves to 15-2-1 on the year.

“Credit to Syracuse today,” said head coach John Kerr. “We gave up that early goal and they were organized and strong in the back to keep us off the board. I’m proud of the way these guys played hard in these past four games and the senior leadership we’ve gotten in this final stretch of the season.”

No. 2 and third-seed North Carolina were knocked out of the tournament by the 19th-ranked and sixth-seeded Cardinal.

Louisville (9-6-3) got the only goal of the match in the 76th minute by Ivan Gutierrez off a feed from Ricardo Velazco.

UNC held a 9-6 shot advantage over the Cardinals.

The Blue Devils and the Tar Heels will await their fate for NCAA Tournament selections on Monday, Nov. 17.
