CLEMSON, S.C. – The third-ranked Clemson men’s soccer team opened its three-match home slate with a 2-1 win over the Providence Friars on Sunday night at Historic Riggs Field. Junior Diego Campos led the charge with two goals, including a spectacular side volley into the upper ninety.
The Tigers held the majority of the possession throughout the first 20 minutes but failed to test the Providence goalkeeper. Senior Aaron Jones had the chance to put away another free kick from 30 yards out, but the Providence keeper was able to get in front of the shot. In the 32nd minute after being subbed in five minutes earlier, senior Diego Campos gave the Tigers a 1-0 lead when he slotted home a shot into the side netting, double assisted by Thales Moreno and Oliver Shannon.
