With two upset losses to start the season on opening weekend, the men's soccer team (No. 1 Soccer America, No. 7 NSCAA) will have to work even harder to meet its expectations of another ACC Championship.
The Blue Devils entered the season with seven seniors, making the team the most experienced in the ACC. Add to that the duo of freshmen Jordan Cila and Danny Wymer-who were two of the most highly regarded high school players in the nation-and everything was looking optimistic heading into last Friday's season opener.
But after only two games this weekend, the Blue Devils (0-2) already have two more losses than they did during the entire 1999 regular season.
After falling to No. 15 St. John's by a score of 1-0 Friday, the Blue Devils were defeated 4-1 the very next day by No. 2 UConn in the Bob's Stores UConn Classic in Storrs, Conn.
