Syracuse competed with the other northeastern soccer programs as an independent until 1979. The University was a founding member of the Big East Conference in 1979^[6] and the Orange broke new ground in 1982 when they finished with a record of 17-3-2 and won the inaugural BIG EAST Tournament^[7] by beating Boston College in the final.
