National champs, again! Tigers top Irish for title

Clemson men’s soccer held off a late Notre Dame charge to add to a packed trophy case for the program.

Clemson topped No. 2 national seed Notre Dame, 2-1, for the program’s second national title in three seasons.

Mike Noonan’s ninth-seeded Tigers finished the season on a 14-game unbeaten run, which also included an ACC Championship.

"Resilient, tough, elite -- they're a special group," Noonan said postgame. "They're so dynamic in so many different ways and different personalities. It's a very diverse group. The one word that connects it all together is that they love each other.
