The Tigers will take on American University, which won its play-in game over Jacksonville, at 4:00 in Winston-Salem, NC, Wake's home field, with which the Tigers are very familiar! You can watch online via Watch ESPN or the ESPN app, and I'll have live updates right here!

First time the Tigers have been the No.1 overall seed since 1998. They were the No.2 seed in the last NCAA Tourney in 2019 and finished runner-up in 2015. Tigers are 6th all-time in NCAA wins and, of course, have the 2 national titles in the 80's.

Good grief, American scores about 4 mins into the game. Not a pretty goal at all, but caught the Tigers' keeper flat-footed.



TIGERS TRAIL 1-0 IN 1ST.

Wow, Callum Johnson nearly scored on a tremendous backfield volley off the cross.

Ugh Reid just had a great opportunity from point blank, but he wasn't able to get the shot off. He had the Tigers' second goal in their 2-0 win over then No.1 Pitt in their last game.

Nice shot is knocked over the crossbar by the American keeper. First corner of the game goes to the Tigers.

Ugh corner by Reid bounces right in front of Agren on the far post, but he's unable to get a foot on it.

Tigers are knocking on the door with several chances. They've pretty much dominated since the early goal caught them flat-footed.

Agren misses wide on a set piece. Tigers trail 1-0 with 4 mins left in the half.

Just about to kick off the 2nd half. American's goal scorer is back in the game after missing most of the 1st half. He has 6 goals in their last 6 games.

GOOOOOOAL!!! Captain James Brighton scores on a PK to put the Tigers up 2-1 with less than 30 mins left! Hand ball in the box on a shot by Reid gave them the PK.
