CLEMSON, S.C. – The Clemson women’s soccer team will square-off with seven NCAA Tournament teams from a season ago, as Head Coach Eddie Radwanski announced the 2019 schedule on Thursday. Five of Clemson’s opponents in 2019 finished last season ranked in the United Soccer Coaches Top 25.
“We’re very excited for the 2019 season,” said Radwanski. “We have some exciting challenges in the upcoming 2019 schedule. Playing two PAC-12 teams (Utah & Oregon) with the season opener vs. Utah is a great way to kick off the season. We have a tough road trip going to Nebraska and Creighton, but we feel these games along with Coastal Carolina, Georgia and South Carolina will help prepare us for conference play in the ACC. The Atlantic Coast Conference will be as tough as ever this year and our Clemson fans will get to see the best teams in the country at Historic Riggs Field. Defending national champion Florida State highlights many of the great ACC games we have at home. Our team had a very good spring and had tremendous growth in many areas, so we are excited and can’t wait to get going!”
Preseason Matchups
The Tigers will play a pair of exhibition matches in a five-day span ahead of the 2019 season opener. Clemson will travel to Greenville, S.C. to take on Furman on August 13 before heading up to Lynchburg, Va. to face Liberty on August 17 for the final tune-up before the regular season begins.
