Clemson Tigers News: Women's Golf 2nd at ACC Championship, Adam Kissayi

Clemson Women’s Golf finishes as runner-up at ACC Championship

Clemson Women’s Golf defeated Virginia 3-2 in the semifinals of match play at the ACC Championship and advanced to the final with Wake Forest.

Unfortunately, the weather intervened, forcing a delay that resulted in four of the five pairings incomplete when darkness forced play to stop for the day.

Per the rules of the ACC, Wake Forest was declared the champion since they were the leaders at the end of stroke play. Clemson officially finished second.

While it is frustrating that the Tigers did not get their chance to rally for the win, Wake is a deserving champion. The Deacons did win the only completed pairing and held the lead in two others when play stopped.

It was an overall very successful weekend for the Tigers. They made Clemson Nation proud.

Clemson Football loses first post-spring transfer

Adam Kissayi, a freshman defensive end early enrollee from Palm Bay, Florida, entered the transfer portal yesterday and departed from Clemson Football following one spring with the program.

Before the end of the day, he announced that he was transferring to Minnesota. Kissayi had verbally committed to the Golden Gophers before flipping his commitment to the Tigers last summer.

Kissayi was more than likely a lock to redshirt as a freshman, so his departure does not create immediate concerns for depth in the defensive ends group.

It is a strange transfer, however, considering that it was fairly well known at the time of Kissayi’s commitment that he was not likely to grab significant playing time immediately and would need development.
