Clemson, S.C. – The Clemson Tigers (12-5, 4-5 ACC) defeated the Pittsburgh Panthers 17-7 (4-12, 0-9 ACC) at Historic Riggs on Thursday evening to close out its inaugural season. The Tigers went 9-1 at home for its first and last season at Historic Riggs Field. Clemson outscored its opponents by 121 with 182 goals scored while only allowing 61 goals.
