Football (@ClemsonFB)Record: 3-0, 1-0Tajh Boyd and Martavis Bryant hooked up for a pair of second-half touchdowns, and Clemson overcome a shaky start and pulled away for a 26-14 win against a pesky NC State squad at Carter-Finley Stadium in the ACC opener for both teams. Senior kicker Chandler Catanzaro became Clemson’s all-time scoring leader with two field goals and two extra points on the night, while Boyd moved into a tie for second place in ACC history for career touchdown passes. The Tigers, ranked No. 3 in the Associated Press poll and No. 4 by the coaches, return to action Saturday against Wake Forest. The game will kick off at 3:30 and will be televised by ABC/ESPN2.

The Tigers finished with a team score of 849, their best score of the year both in total score and in relation to par. In the unique tournament format, the Tigers then faced off with nationally-ranked tournament winner Georgia in match-play, where the Bulldogs claimed a 5-0 victory. Clemson returns to action on Oct. 18 at the US Collegiate at the Golf Club of Georgia in Atlanta.
Women’s Golf (@ClemsonWGolf)Freshman Ashlan Ramsey won individual medalist honors and the women’s golf team finished second at the Lady Paladin Invitational. Clemson shot a team score of 867 for the 54 hole event, just two shots off the pace set by the University of Wisconsin. Ramsey, the number-one ranked amateur in the world according to Golfweek, won the individual championship by three strokes over Eunice Yi of Georgia Regents University. Following the second-consecutive runner-up finish for the Tigers to begin their inaugural season, the team next tees up in Chapel Hill at the Ruth’s Chris Tar Heel Invitational. The tournament will be held at Finley Golf Course October 11-13.

The 14 goals scored versus Alabama A&M set new Clemson and ACC records for single game scoring. Senior Deana Sherry recorded a hat trick against the Bulldogs, while senior Vanessa Laxgang and sophomore Kylie Tawney recorded two goals apiece in the victory.
