Clemson United Wins Fourth National Championship in School History

Louisville, Ky. – Behind goals from Brandon Parrish and Ousmane Sylla, Clemson men’s soccer won its fourth NCAA Championship in school history on Monday night, downing ACC-foe Notre Dame, 2-1. Clemson’s four team-championships are the most by any program at Clemson.  Notre Dame was the first to get a good look in the game in the 8’, but Joseph Andema made a diving stop to keep the Fighting Irish off the board. The Tigers had back-to-back corner kick opportunities in the 13’, but could not find the back of the net. Clemson had another corner opportunity in the 15’, but again couldn’t get a good look on goal. Following the Tigers’ fifth corner of the first half, Brandon Parrish broke the 0-0 tie with a rocket to the top right corner. The corner was cleared by a Notre Dame defender, who sent it right to Parrish, who fired from outside the top of the box for his fourth goal of the season. Notre Dame had two close looks following the Clemson goal, but Andema made his second save of the night and another Fighting Irish shot went just wide to keep the Tigers’ lead in tact.  In the 38’, Mohamed Seye narrowly missed doubling the Tigers’ lead on a pass from Alex Meinhard. Notre Dame put pressure on the Tigers for the remaining five minutes of the half, but the Tigers were able to take the 1-0 lead into the locker rooms.  Notre Dame had three good chances to start the second half, as the Fighting Iris ramped up the offensive pressure against the Tigers. In the 56’, Notre Dame had its’ best look of the night, with a shot by Paddy Burns hitting the crossbar. The Fighting Irish continue to pressure the Tigers, this time getting a shot off in the 58’ that Parrish saved from going in the net.  In the 63’, Notre Dame’s Bryce Boneau managed to get around the Clemson defense and have a good look at the goal, but missed just left. Five minutes later, the Tigers finally got another good look, with Remi Okunlola taking a pass from Ousmane Sylla and sending it to the lower right corner, but it was saved by ND.  Sylla netted his 13th goal of the season in the 70’, after sending a pass out wide to Minehard. Minehard crossed it back to Sylla, who fired it past the diving keeper to give the Tigers’ the 2-0 lead.  Notre Dame had a chance to cut into the lead in the 83’, but KK Baffour’s shot was wide right. In the 89’, Notre Dame used a penalty kick off of a handball in the box to finally break through and become the first team in the NCAA Tournament to score a goal against the Tigers. With the win, Clemson joins Maryland, UCLA, and San Francisco as men’s soccer programs with four national championships.
