CLEMSON, S.C. — The No. 1 Clemson Tigers return home on Tuesday to take on UNC Asheville at Historic Riggs Field. The match will stream on ACCNX with kickoff set for 6 p.m.
The Tigers enter the match as the top-ranked team in the nation and look to build upon their 3-0-0 start. Most recently, Clemson earned a 1-0 victory on the road against South Carolina to extend its win streak over the in-state rival to nine matches.
Clemson is 7-1 all-time against UNC Asheville, and is perfect when facing off with the Bulldogs at home. The Tigers hold a 42-5 goal advantage across the eight all-time matches.
Tigers’ standout Ousmane Sylla scored Clemson’s equalizing and game-winning goals in its victory over Indiana and assisted Tim Ströbeck’s goal against USC Upstate, as well as Alvaro Gomez’s game-winning goal against South Carolina on Friday. In doing so, he collected multiple player of the week honors, including ACC Co-Offensive Player of the Week and CollegeSoccerNews.com’s National Player of the Week. He has earned at least one point in each of the Tigers’ three games and leads the team with six.
UNC Asheville enters the match 1-2-0, and is looking to rebound from a 3-2 Friday night loss to East Tennessee State.
