Clemson Sails Past Hurricanes on Speckmaier’s Golden Goal

OF NOTE

• Staab’s assist on the game-winning goal was her fourth of the season, and the 26^th of her Clemson career. She currently ranks sixth in Clemson record books for career assists.
• The Tigers outshot the Hurricanes 23-5, including 7-2 in shots on goal. All five shots for Miami were in the first half, therefore the Clemson defense held the Hurricanes without a shot for the entire second half and overtime.
• The Tigers also held a 10-1 advantage over the Hurricanes in corner kicks.
• In the 51^st minute, Weslake received a through-ball in front of the goal from freshman Brooke Power and finished it to tie the match at 1-1. Sophomore Kimber Haley picked up her third assist of the season on the play as well.
• Weslake and Speckmaier now have five goals each on the season and lead the team in that category. The two forwards are also tied for the team lead in scoring, with 11 points apiece, both on five goals and one assist.
• Junior keeper Sandy MacIver posted one save and picked up her fourth win of the season.
• This is the Tigers’ first overtime win since Aug. 25, 2017, and Speckmaier netted the gamewinner in that match as well, leading Clemson to a 2-1 double-overtime win over No. 20 Auburn at Historic Riggs Field.
• With the win, Clemson improved to 7-7-1 against the Hurricanes in the series that dates back to 2004.
