BOX SCORE
Clemson, S.C. – Five goals from four different players propelled the third-ranked Clemson men’s soccer team to a 5-0 victory over the Radford Highlanders Tuesday night. The result moved the team to 12-1-1 on the year. The Tigers dismantled the visiting team in all phases of the match, with 23 players seeing playing time. In the match Tuesday night, Clemson recorded 24 shots, making it their fifth game this season in which the team has eclipsed the 20-shot mark.
Robbie Robinson contributed a brilliant performance in the Tigers’ effort, as the junior assisted on three goals and scored one of his own. Robinson has contributed 12 points to his squad’s efforts in their last two matches.
This is the Tigers’ third-straight game in which they have scored four or more goals, bringing their season total to seven matches with four or more. The win over the Highlanders gave Clemson its eighth non-conference win of the season, resulting in an unblemished record against non-ACC opponents.
“The guys have prepared themselves really well and are playing in a manner that is well-rounded. The defense is creating offensive chances and that showed itself particularly in the first 15 minutes of the game.”
