Scoreboard

Clemson Women’s Soccer 1, Virginia 1: The Tigers earn a draw against the Cavaliers.

Head coach Eddie Radwanski expressed the team played well, but it just didn’t go their way last night.

"“We needed more than just the one and it wasn’t from a lack of creating it, sometimes that happens in the game where it just doesn’t bounce your way. I told the team ‘these things happen, you have to put it behind you and let’s focus on our game Sunday with Virginia Tech’.”"

Renee Lyles scored for the Tigers in the 33rd minute off an assist from Sami Meredith to tie the score at 1-1. From there, it was a defensive battle.

The Tigers travel to Virginia Tech on Sunday.

Clemson had moved into 4th place during the final round, but rules state that if a round is canceled, standings revert to the scores at the end of the last completed round.
