Middle Tennessee State defeats Clemson 1-0

Sept. 16, 2005

CLEMSON, SC–Holly Grogan scored the game’s only goal in leading Middle Tennessee State to a 1-0 win over Clemson in a women’s intercollegiate soccer match at Clemson, SC Friday night.

With the win, Middle Tennessee State improves to 5-2 overall, while Clemson falls to 4-2-1 this season.

In the 31st minute, Kaley Forrest sent a diagonal pass from center of the field to the left to Grogan. Grogan sent a shot from 12 yards out to the right post for her fourth goal of the season.

Clemson was without starting midfielder Elizabeth Jobe who suffered a season-ending knee injury.

“This was a good hard-fought match,” said Clemson Head Coach Elizabeth Jobe is hard. She is the one field player that is irreplaceable for our team. We will have to get it done by committee. I feel as if we are starting over without Jobe, and we must start a system that will get us results.”

Clemson will play at Wofford at 2:00 p.m. in Spartanburg, SC on Sunday, September 18, in the Lady Tigers’ next action.
