Clemson and Boston College play to a 1-1 tie Tigers will face Duke next Friday night.

BOSTON, MA–Clemson and Boston played to a 1-1 overtime tie in a men’s intercollegiate soccer match at Boston, MA Saturday night.

The Eagles are now 8-5-2 overall and 3-2-2 in the ACC, while Clemson is now 10-3-2 overall and 2-3-2 in the ACC.

Clemson struck early as Frederico Moojen one-timed a cross from the left by Dane Richards. Moojen struck the ball by a diving BC goalkeeper Chris Brown just 1:30 into the match.

Boston College tied the game when sophomore defender Paul Gerstenberger punched the ball back in the box after Clemson cleared a corner kick attempt. The Gerstenberger offering went into the box and sophomore Mor Avi Hanan jumped on the loose ball and place it in the back of the net at 42:45 for a 1-1 game.

Clemson will play host to Duke next Friday night at 7:00 p.m. at Historic Riggs Field.

Clemson’s best chance to steal a victory came with 23 minutes to play in regulation when David Bell was sent in alone. Brown came out of the goal and deflected Bell’s shot wide to preserve the 1-1 tie.

Just 15 seconds into the second overtime, Charlie Davies had a chance to give the Eagles the win when he broke free on a feed from Reuben Ayarna. Marfuggi came out and collided with Davies and the Clemson defense cleared the ball. With 30 seconds to play, Davies was dropped just outside the box. Brill’s shot from outside the box went high.
