Kyle Murphy Named Co-ACC POW

CLEMSON, S.C. – Clemson redshirt junior forward Kyle Murphy has been named Co-ACC Player of the Week for his performances last week in the Tigers’ road wins over Boston College and Providence.

Murphy scored both Clemson goals in the team’s 2-0 victory at Boston College on Friday, Sept. 12. The Red Hook, N.Y. native came off the bench and played 37 minutes in the contest, scoring in the 36th and 70th minutes. The scores were Murphy’s first two of the season and moved him into a tie for fourth in the ACC in goals scored. Against Providence on Sunday, Sept. 14, Murphy logged 49 minutes on the field and took three shots, all on goal.

Freshman Oliver Shannon was named to TopDrawerSoccer.com’s Team of the Week for his efforts against Boston College and Providence. Shannon assisted on the game-winning goal against Boston College and scored the game-winner in overtime against Providence. The score against Providence was the first of his Clemson career. 

The Tigers return to Historic Riggs Field this week after five consecutive road games. Clemson hosts Gardner-Webb on Wednesday, Sept. 17 at 7 p.m. and Syracuse on Saturday, Sept. 20 at 5 p.m.
