The Lady Tigers scored their second goal of the evening at the 30:10 mark when Browne sent a shot past the South Carolina goalkeeper, Carolyn Ortega near the left post. This was Browne’s fifth goal of the season.

(Clemson scored all three goals in the first half.) “However we are going to have to learn to be sharp for the entire game. I am glad we were able to score two goals off of set pieces tonight. That was a nice dimension to our attack tonight. Again, we are going to have to learn to put two great halves together. I am very happy with our defense. Our defensive scheme allows us to be successful.”
