CLEMSON - Clemson men's soccer (4-1-2; 2-1 ACC) fought hard to earn a 1-0 victory against their longtime rival Wake Forest (2-3-3; 0-1-1 ACC) at Historic Riggs Field on Friday.
In the 53rd minute, the fourth-ranked Tigers earned themselves a penalty after Remi Okunlola was tripped in the box. Joran Gerbet stepped up for Clemson, where he sent the keeper the wrong way and scored. After lots of buildup and missed chances, Clemson broke the deadlock for what served as the game-winner.
“Any ACC win is a great win…This was an outstanding performance and Wake Forest is a very good team,” Tigers head coach Mike Noonan said.
