After a disappointing last-second 0-1 loss to North Carolina, Clemson rebounded with two wins and a draw over the past two weeks. The Tigers got positive results in two conference road games against ranked opponents. With how challenging the ACC is these results are vital for Clemson’s title hopes.
The first game in the stretch was a road game against #17 UVA. The Tigers and the Cavaliers battled to a 3-3 draw. The Tigers defensive decencies came back to bite them in the rear for this game. Clemson built a two goal lead courtesy of Malick Mbaye and Austen Burnikel.
