Tigers advance to third round

The top-seeded Clemson men’s soccer team scored two goals in the second half of its match against American University in the second round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday in Winston-Salem, N.C., to advance to the Round of 16 with a 2-1 victory.

Trailing 1-0 at halftime after allowing an early goal, the Tigers drew even at the 52-minute mark when Moha Seye found the back of the net. It marked Seye’s 25th collegiate point.

Clemson then converted a penalty kick at the 62-minute mark, with James Brighton stepping up to the penalty spot and slotting home the ball to give the Tigers a 2-1 lead they wouldn’t relinquish.
