ACC Champions to be Crowned Today on Fox Sports Net

Both the men's and women's ACC champions will be decided today in matches broadcast live on Fox Sports Net.

At 1pm EST, Duke and Wake Forest meet in Germantown, MD to challenge for the men's title. Duke, who enters the match ranked 4th in the NCAA Division I, will be looking to knock off the Demon Deacons, who stand atop the national polls, for the second time this season. Duke leads Wake Forest in the all-time series by a margin of 20-11-4. The Blue Devils have won the last three games against the Demon Deacons, including a thrilling 4-3 victory during the 2006 regular season at Winston-Salem.

The men's tournament match will be followed directly at 3:30pm EST by the women's championship from SAS Soccer Park in Cary, NC. UNC heads into their 19th straight ACC final against Florida State the heavy favorite, having not lost a match since their opening day defeat at Texas A&M (when many of their regular players were away on US Women's National Team duty). That 20 game win streak includes a 2-1 win over the Seminoles in Chapel Hill earlier this season.
