The Clemson men's soccer team, in search of the sport's first back-to-back NCAA national titles since 2017, take its sky-high momentum on the road for the first time this season to meet archrival South Carolina under the Friday night lights.
Ranked No. 1 in the nation, Clemson thrashed Penn State 3-0 in its opening match of the season at home last weekend. The Tigers went up 2-0 before halftime on goals from Alex Meinhard and Misei Yoshizawa. A second-half own goal set them on their way.
The battle of the Palmetto State features plenty of needle regardless of sport, but this has been a one-sided affair for some time. Clemson is on a 10-match winning streak over South Carolina, emerging victorious 2-0 last season in a match in which Meinhard scored.
