KANSAS CITY, Kan. – For the first time in 28 years, and the third time in program history, the Clemson men’s soccer team will play in the championship match at the College Cup after advancing over Syracuse in penalty kicks in Friday’s semifinal. The Tigers and Orange played 110 minutes of scoreless soccer, in which redshirt junior goalkeeper Andrew Tarbell posted a season-best eight saves. Then, four-straight Tigers stepped up to the line and drilled their penalty kicks to send the team to play for a national title on Sunday.
“The game of soccer is cruel sometimes,” said Head Coach Mike Noonan.
